Assessment of Serum Apelin Level in Iraqi Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy Patients

The present study is investigated the relationship between Apelin concentration and various biochemical parameters in patients with type2 diabetic nephropathy. A total of 30 diagnosed Diabetic Nephropathy at Al-Yarmouk Al-Karama teaching hospitals were included compared to 40 healthy individuals forming control group. was identified a significant increase among type 2 nephropathy, Additionally, analyzed, strong correlation found their concentrations levels. Considerable elevation serum nitrogen compounds like urea creatinine, as well fasting blood glucose glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) observed nephropathy patients. positive both creatinine levels observed. Conversely, negative glomerular filtration rate (GFR), indicating potential implications for kidney function these These findings emphasize significance monitoring along other variables essential indicators management understanding Further research could offer valuable insights into interventions treatment strategies improving patient outcomes.
