Abstract:
Ninty-eight patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus were divided into atherosclerosis(AS) group and non-AS group.Fasting plasma cystatin C level( CysC ) was determined.The results showed that there existed a significant correlation between CysC level and the number of carotid arteries plaque ( r =0.432,P＜0.01 ).CysC was an independent risk factor( OR =2.21,95％ CI 1.88-3.02 ) of carotid artery intimamedia thickening in patients with type 2 diabetes.
