Urinary type IV collagen excretion predicts subsequent declining renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria

Diabetes Res Clin Pract. 2010 Aug;89(2):e33-5. doi: 10.1016/j.diabres.2010.05.007. Epub 2010 Jun 9.

Abstract

Baseline urinary type IV collagen excretion was negatively correlated with the subsequent GFR change (r(s)=-0.39, p=0.04) in our cohort of 30 type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria. Therefore, it could be used to predict subsequent declining renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria.
