Are gene expression profile in delay graft function : inflammatory markers associated with recipient and donor risk factors?
Overall, the present study shows that DGF is associated with inflammatory markers, which are correlated with donor and recipient DGF risk factors.
In patients with Type 2 diabetes mellitus urinary glycated peptides are associated with proximal tubule dysfunction. The proteomic patterns of urinary glycated peptides could differentiate normo- from microalbuminuric patients and may explain a potential relation between the size and the glycation status of glycated peptides, and the extent of proximal tubule dysfunction. The lack of correlation between parameters of endothelial dysfunction and proximal tubule dysfunction cannot exclude glomerular involvement in early diabetic nephropathy.
