Measuring serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) could help to predict which patients with Type 2 diabetes will develop renal disease, research suggests.
Results of a prospective cohort study conducted in Japan show that patients with the highest hs-CRP levels were more likely to develop microalbuminuria than those with the lowest levels.
Over a median follow-up of 0.94 years, 197 patients developed diabetic nephropathy, with an incidence ratio of 155.4 per 1000 person–years. Adjusted hazard ratios (HR) for the risk of developing nephropathy associated with the second, third and fourth hs-CRP quartiles versus the first quartile were 1.31, 1.55 and 1.57, respectively.
