Levels of circulating tumor necrosis factor receptor 1 and 2 (TNFR1 and TNFR2) predict kidney disease in both type 1 and type 2 diabetes, according to the results of two 12-year studies.
The cumulative incidence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) among those with type 2 diabetes who had the highest quartile of TNFR1 at baseline was 54% at 12 years, compared with only 3% for the other quartiles (P< 0.001), reported Andrzej S. Krolewski, MD, PhD, from the Joslin Diabetes Center in Boston, and colleagues.
