Serum Omentin-1 Levels in Diabetic and Nondiabetic Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease

Abstract

The results of the present study suggest that diabetes mellitus and inflammation should be associated with lower omentin levels in CKD population; however, this reduction resolves due to the failure of degradation and excretion of omentin when creatinine clearance falls below 30 ml/min (stage 4 CKD).
