Abstract Objective: To find the correlation between urinary Retinol-Binding Protein 4(RBP-4) and renal function in Type 2 Diabetics. Methodology: Study included 60 type 2 diabetics. 20 normal subjects were taken as control. Level of blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, serum creatinine, and RBP-4 were estimated in both patients and control subjects. Results: Mean age in patients and controls was in a range of 45- 47 years with a mild increase in BMI. Levels of HbA1c and of RBP-4 were significantly high in patients compared to controls. Levels of serum creatinine were non-significantly increased in patients as compared to controls. A significant negative correlation of RBP-4 with serum creatinine was also observed. Positive correlation was observed between age and HbA1c with RBP-4. Conclusion: Urinary RBP-4 may be an early marker of diabetic nephropathy in diabetic subjects and may be used as a tool for monitoring the disease. Key words: Retinol binding protein 4, serum creatinine, diabetic nephropathy.   ARTICLE TOOLS Abstract PDF Fulltext How to cite this article Citation Tools Related Records   Articles by Arham Javed Articles by Maira Mahmood Articles by Saima Saeed Articles by Farah Bano Niazi Articles by Riffat Yasmin on Google on Google Scholar How to Cite this Article Pubmed Style Javed A, Mahmood M, Saeed S, Niazi FB, Yasmin R.
