Study of some autophagy markers in type 2 diabetic patients with and without diabetic nephropathy

Association of Uric Acid with Antioxidant Capacity of Plasma in Patients with Type 2 Diabetic Nephropathy

Background: The role of attenuation in antioxidant capacity or expansion of pro-oxidant/oxidant is well known for the development of stress oxidative. The aim of this study was to evaluate the plasma antioxidant capacity along with uric acid in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN+) and without diabetic nephropathy (DN-). Materials and Methods: The research population included 88 patients ...

Renal structure and function in type 2 diabetic patients with or without diabetic nephropathy.

Postprandial triglyceride levels in type 2 diabetic patients with and without history of myocardial infarction

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in diabetic cases. Studies have shown that hypertriglyceridemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Although triglyceride level is generally increased in postprandial periods, the association between postprandial triglyceride level in diabetic patients and cardiovascular diseases and myocardial infarction (MI...

Haptoglobin gene polymorphism in type 2 diabetic patients with and without nephropathy: An Egyptian study.

BACKGROUND The development and progression of diabetic microvascular complications including nephropathy are related to the degree of glycemic control and oxidative stress and may be influenced by genetic factors. The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between haptoglobin (Hp) gene polymorphism and the occurrence of diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes ...

Prevalence of diabetic nephropathy among Type 2 diabetic patients in some of the Arab countries

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is a public health concern worldwide and an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Type 2 DM is associated with microvascular and macrovascular complications. Diabetic nephropathy (DN), which is characterized by proteinuria, is one of the most serious long-term microvascular complications of DM. The proportion of DN is increasing worldwide. DN is the leading c...
