Renal Function In Diabetes Mellitus

Diabetic nephopathy is leading cause of chronic renal disease and end stage renal disease, so early recognition is very importanat. We know that chronic renal disease is associated with an elevated cardiovascular disease risk and mortality. General recommendatons for screening kidney function is to assess urine albumin excretion and estimate glomerular filtration rate. Albuminuria is a known strong predictor for kidney disease, but it could be fi nd in other kidney disease. The limitations of today methods for measure kidney function have led to an extensive search for a more sensitive laboratory marker of kidney function. Cystatin C could be play role as a measure of kidney function. More than 1500 different proteins heve been recently identified from a pool of normal urines. Their role in pathogenesis of kidney function should be study in the feature.
