Aim of the work: To identify the relationship between serum concentration of 7,8-dihydro-2-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) and different stages of Albumin Excretion Rate (AER), as marker of nephropathy in Egyptian patients with Type 1 Diabetes(T1D).
Subjects and methodology: Total 65 volunteers were distributed in 4 groups: group 1: included 20 healthy subjects as control, group 2: 15 T1D patients with AER<30 mg/g creatinine, group 3: 15 T1D patients with (30030 mg/g creatinine) and group 4: 15 T1D patients with (AER>30 mg/g creatinine). The blood chemistry parameters were analyzed, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and serum urea and creatinine, Malodialdhyde (MDA), 8- oxodG levels were measured by ELISA.
Results: Significant increase in urea and creatinine in G3 and G4 with control with a p va.. View More»
