Dear user,
I recommend you: step 1) to perform a fundoscopy to diagnose diabetic retinopathy. If this is diagnostic for retinopathy, then it is very likely that your sister has a diabetic nephropathy, although EVERY organic cause should be excluded at least with lab exams (C3,C4, ANA, kappa and lambda free light chains, urine analysis). If your sister has a negative fundoscopy, a renal biopsy should be performed. Avoid every nephrotoxic drug, such NSAIDs.
Let me know,
Andrea
