Research Article: Urinary orosomucoid and retinol binding protein levels as early diagnostic markers for diabetic kidney Disease

Date Published: 2023-12-04

Abstract:
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common microvascular complication of diabetes, which has been a major cause of end-stage renal failure. Diagnosing diabetic kidney disease is important to prevent long-term kidney damage and determine the prognosis of patients with diabetes. In this study, we investigated the clinical significance of combined detection of urine orosomucoid and retinol-binding protein for early diagnosis of diabetic kidney disease.

Introduction:
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common and severe chronic vascular complication among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) [1]. It leads to chronic renal failure and is the leading cause of death due to diabetes. However, DKD patients have no obvious symptoms in the early stage. Common diagnostic indicators of DKD include 24-hour urine microalbumin (MAL), urea nitrogen, and serum creatinine levels. However, they can be affected by many factors, such as urinary tract or systemic infections,…
