Aim: Retrospective analysis of biopsies of chronic kidney disease patients with type 2 diabetes to know prevalence and nature of non diabetic renal disease (NDRD). Methods: Single centre retrospective study. Data of biopsies performed from January 2003 to December 2011 on 254 diabetics with clinical suspicion of non diabetic renal disease were analyzed. All biopsies were reported by single pathologist. Clinical indications for biopsy were either of following alone or in combination: 1. Absence of retinopathy 2. Proteinuria <1 gram/day or >5 gram/day 3. Short duration (<5 year)of diabetes with CKD 4. Active urinary sediment 5. Rapidly progressive renal failure 6. Systemic disease Results: Out of 254 patients 105 had features of diabetic glomerulosclerosis and 149 had non diabetic renal disease. Of NDRD, acute interstitial nephritis emerged as commonest biopsy finding followed by chronic interstitial nephritis and IgA nephropathy as third common cause
