Are dysmorphic erythrocytes superior to hematuria for indicating non-diabetic renal disease in type 2 diabetics?
Dysmorphic erythrocytes were superior to hematuria for indicating non-diabetic renal disease in type 2 diabetics. Nephrotic syndrome was an independent risk factor for hematuria.
E2 and genotoxic metabolites were higher in obese vs lean prepubertal girls. These data suggest that obesity is associated with an increased extraglandular estrogen production and metabolism before the onset of puberty in girls. Long-term epidemiological studies are needed to assess any potential increase in breast cancer risk.
