Abstract

Tubular damage is common in the pathology of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and the severity of interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy associates with DN progression. Diabetic patients could have decreased kidney function without overt proteinuria, which highlighted the importance of tubular injury markers in DN management. However, the prognostic roles of urinary tubular injury markers are not well established. This retrospective study sought to correlate current clinically used urinary tubular injury markers with DN pathological features and renal outcomes.
