Expression of Endothelial Cell Injury Marker Cd146 Correlates with Disease Severity and Predicts the Renal Outcomes in Patients with Diabetic Nephropathy
Background/Aims: Glomerular endothelial cell injury plays a crucial role in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). CD146, an endothelial marker, was shown to increase in chronic kidney disease (CKD), but its role in DN remains unknown. We aim to assess whether CD146 could be used to evaluate...
