A Comparative Study between Serum Cystatin C and Microalbuminuria in the Diagnosis of Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Elevated serum cystatin C level was observed in type 2 diabetic patients before the development of notable albuminuria, and its concentration rises as nephropathy advances, indicating that cystatin C could serve as a potential and earlier marker of renal dysfunction compared to albuminuria.

Abstract

Elevated serum cystatin C level was observed in type 2 diabetic patients before the development of notable albuminuria, and its concentration rises as nephropathy advances, indicating that cystatin C could serve as a potential and earlier marker of renal dysfunction compared to albuminuria.
