'''Theory''':[[File:Kimmestiel Wilson syndrome - nodules.png|thumb|Nodules]]Nodular glomerulosclerosis is the third and last stage of diabetic nephropathy. It occurs as a result of glucose combining with proteins in the glomerular vessel wall to form ''AGE'' products. AGEs stimulate the mesangial cells to produce more mesangial matrix, which is what forms the PAS positive nodules. The nodules are called Kiemmelstiel-Wilson nodules or lesions. | '''Theory''':[[File:Kimmestiel Wilson syndrome - nodules.png|thumb|Nodules|328x328px]]Nodular glomerulosclerosis is the third and last stage of diabetic nephropathy.
