Distribution of Homocysteine Levels in Type 2 Diabetes Patients and Its Association with Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio: A Cross-sectional Study

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

In people with type 2 diabetes, researchers measured homocysteine, an amino acid in the blood, and compared it with how much protein (albumin) was leaking into the urine. Higher homocysteine went along with more protein in the urine, which is an early sign of kidney damage. Everyone was tested once, so this shows a link, not proof that homocysteine causes the damage.
