Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the possible association between YKL-40, a new biomarker of endothelial dysfunction, and albuminuria in 180 type 2 diabetic patients. Multivariate logistic regression analyses demonstrated that serum YKL-40 level was a determinant of albuminuria independently of conventional risk factors.<br /> (Copyright © 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd.
