AIP was associated with nephropathy but not other microvascular complications in type 2 DM; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation.
Does the atherogenic index of plasma correlate with microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
The atherogenic index of plasma is significantly correlated with microvascular complications, particularly nephropathy, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
