Abstract
HENAO SANJINES, Milenca Valentina and URQUIZO AYALA, Guillermo. EARLY BIOMARKER IN DIABETIC NEPHROPATHY. Rev. Méd. La Paz [online]. 2023, vol.29, n.1, pp.84-86. Epub June 30, 2023. ISSN 1726-8958.
Diabetic kidney disease is a common presenting condition and a costly complication of diabetes. It is considered one of the main causes of renal failure and admission to renal replacement therapy. In clinical practice, diabetic kidney disease is diagnosed by albuminuria, a decrease in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), or both. Currently, there is the possibility of detecting early markers such as CKD273, which was associated with an increased risk of progression to microalbuminuria, being an early warning of the presentation of diabetic nephropathy, several years before its presentation.
Keywords : Biomarker; diabetic nephropathy, microalbuminuria.
