Key result
In patients with type 2 diabetes not yet on dialysis, serum lipoprotein(a) levels showed a significant inverse correlation with creatinine clearance (r= -0.19, p=0.03).

May signal early renal impairment in type 2 diabetes; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before any clinical use.
To examine the association of serum serum lipoprotein(a)[Lp(a)] concentration with various demographic and biochemical indexes of diabetic patients , we conducted a study on type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2D) patients. Patients were under treatment with insulin injection or oral hypoglycemic agents with various creatinine clearances not yet on dialysis. We studied 122 patients, with a mean age of 63

Baradaran et al. (2013) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=122). Creatinine clearance was evaluated on Correlation between serum lipoprotein(a) and creatinine clearance (r= -0.19, p=0.03). In patients with type 2 diabetes not yet on dialysis, serum lipoprotein(a) levels showed a significant inverse correlation with creatinine clearance (r= -0.19, p=0.03).
