Abstract:
The association of the progress of diabetic nephropathy with the sclerosis of major artery was investigated.Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) was positively correlated with urinary albumin and creatinine ratio,and negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate in diabetes group,suggesting that thickened CIMT may predict the increasing risk of clinical nephropathy in the patients with microalbuminuria.
