Background: Low serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) has been shown to correlate with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The objective of this study was to investigate the association between serum 25(OH)D and glycemic and inflammatory markers in non-obese patients with T2DM. Methods: Eighty-four non-obese patients with T2DM were recruited in this cross-sectional study. Demog...

Reference intervals for markers of renal function are critical in determining the point estimates disease intervention before and during management. Estimates glomerular becoming more practical than traditional methods beset by insensitivity high mean errors estimation. Current tests diagnose insufficiency when less a third nephrons remaining both kidneys. Serum cystatin C derived serum based e...
