INTRODUCTION: Diabetic nephropathy is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). In diabetes, changes in serum levels of both soluble alpha Klotho (sKL) and fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF-23) have been associated with CKD progression.
Vitamin D has been considered to regulate calcium and phosphorus homeostasis and to preserve skeletal integrity. Serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is the best indicator of vitamin D levels. The association of serum 25(OH)D deficiency with increased...
Type (II) diabetes is one of the major threats to mankind as it causes insulin resistance in human body and Retinol Binding Protein 4 (RBP4) is currently considered as a potential biomarker for early management of this disease. Hence a low-level dete...
