Evaluation of endocan and endoglin levels in chronic kidney disease due to diabetes mellitus

Introduction Endocan and endoglin have been shown to play a role in angiogenesis. Aberrant excessive angiogenesis is a main factor in the development of diabetic nephropathy. In this study we evaluated endocan and endoglin levels in diabetes patients with and without albuminuria and compared them wi...
