Elevated serum retinol‐binding protein 4 concentrations are associated with renal dysfunction and uric acid in type 2 diabetic patients

Abstract

Both eGFR and uric acid are significant determinants of serum RBP4, suggesting that the impaired renal clearance of early diabetic nephropathy affects RBP4 and indirectly supporting the hypothesized link among metabolic syndrome, uric acid and insulin resistance.
