| Abstract | PURPOSE: Early detection of diabetic nephropathy is very important for prevention of renal failure. Determination of microalbuminuria has been suggested as an early predictor of diabetic nephropathy, but it is tend to be erroneous and inaccurate, especially in childhood. The aim of this study is to show clinical values of serum cystatin C and beta(2)-microglobulin in the assessment of renal function in diabetic children and adolescents.METHODS: Ninety four type 1 and 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (n=78), microalbuminuria (n= 15) and macroalbuminuria (n=1) were enrolled. Serum concentration of cystatin C, beta2-microglobulin, creatinine, urinary microalbumin levels and creatinine clearances were determined.RESULTS: In patients with microalbuminuria, serum concentration of cystatin C was increased significantly in comparison to patients with normoalbuminuria (P<0.05), while no differences were observed for beta2- microglobulin levels. Serum creatinine concentrations were not different between both groups. Serum concentration of cystatin C was positively correlated with serum beta2-microglobulin and serum creatinine. The serum concentration of beta2-microglobulin was not correlated with the decrease of renal function significantly.CONCLUSION: Serum cystatin C is a useful endogenous marker in assessment of renal function in pediatric diabetic patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
