Trace Element Assessment among Patients with Diabetes Mellitus and Chronic Kidney Disease: A Cross-Sectional Study in Nasarawa State Hospitals, Nigeria

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study measured trace minerals, such as zinc and copper, in the blood of patients with both diabetes and kidney disease at hospitals in Nasarawa State, Nigeria. It took a single snapshot in time. It can show links between mineral levels and kidney disease, but not proof of cause. The abstract was not available, so we could not check the size or findings.
