Enhanced Creatinine Level in Diabetic Patients Maximizing the Possibilities of Nephropathy and Its Association With Blood Urea Nitrogen and Glomerular Filtration Rate
We found significantly higher creatinine and BUN levels and lower GFR in the diabetic group compared to the non-diabetic group. Besides, we determined a positive association between creatinine and BUN, and an inverse relationship between GFR and creatinine and BUN respectively which was highly scattered in the case as compared to the non-diabetic group. Further analysis of the participants with high creatinine levels only supported the main outcomes. Conclusion: Our investigation of kidney markers suggests a significant association between diabetes and kidney complications. Leading a healthy lifestyle and maintaining blood sugar and pressure may help to slow down the progress of diabetic nephropathy for diabetic patients.
