Impact of the relationship between hemoglobin levels and renal interstitial fibrosis on long-term outcomes in type 2 diabetes with biopsy-proven diabetic nephropathy

Abstract Background Progression of renal anemia has been shown to be associated with advanced renal tubulointerstitial lesions. This retrospective study investigated the impact of lower hemoglobin (Hb) levels and renal interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IFTA) on long-term outcomes in type 2...
