Retinol Binding Protein 4 as a Recent Biomarker for Prediction of Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Abstract:Diabetic Nephropathy, which is one of the most common and severe microvascular complications of diabetes, accounts for not only the leading cause of end-stage renal disease but also causes major morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, DN often occurs with no obvious symptoms in the early stage. We aim to evaluate the role of RBP4 as a recent biomarker for the prediction of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. This study was conducted on 60 patients with type П diabetes m… Show more
