Key result
A diabetes mellitus duration of four years significantly increased the risk of early renal function impairment (OR 1.74) and served as an optimal cut-off point for early detection.

Urinary cystatin C is an efficient indicator of early renal damage in type 2 diabetes, with the risk of diabetic nephropathy significantly increasing after 4 years of disease duration.
Rao et al. (2014) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=742). Diabetes mellitus duration ≥ 4 years vs. Diabetes mellitus duration < 1 year was evaluated on Early renal function impairment (OR 1.74, 95% CI 1.54-1.92, p=<0.05). A diabetes mellitus duration of four years significantly increased the risk of early renal function impairment (OR 1.74) and served as an optimal cut-off point for early detection.
