Relations Between ACE Gene and ecNOS Gene Polymorphisms and Resistive Index in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With Nephropathy

Abstract

These results suggest that intrarenal hemodynamic abnormalities are present as a feature of the progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetes, and that they are associated with age, duration of diabetes, decreased creatinine clearance, and blood pressure, but not with the genetic factors of the ACE and ecNOS gene polymorphism in nephropathy of type 2 diabetes.
