Urine transferrin as an early endothelial dysfunction marker in type 2 diabetic patients without nephropathy: a case control study

Abstract Background Albumin, along with other proteins, is abnormally eliminated via the urine during early stages of diabetic nephropathy. Moreover, endothelial dysfunction (ED) accompanying early diabetic nephropathy may develop even before microalbuminuria is detectable. Transferrin has a molecul...
