Abstract

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a syndrome associated with chronic hyperglycemia due to relative insulin deficiency, resistance, or both. Our aim to evaluate the clinical usefulness of cystatin C levels in the serum in predicting renal impairment in patients with type 2 diabetes. Thus, we explored the possibility of the cystatin C levels of serum and urine as markers of early renal impairment in normoalbuminuric patients with diabetes. We also evaluated the relationship of albuminuria and serum/urine cystatin C.

Keywords: Cystatin C, Diabetic Nephropathies and Albuminuria.
