Blood samples can predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes patients: Study
Hindustan TimesResearchers have developed a conceptual approach to predict whether a person with type 2 diabetes will develop kidney disease. Blood samples can predict kidney disease in type 2 diabetes patients: Study The study was published in the journal, 'Nature Communications'. "Our team has demonstrated that by combining clinical data with cutting-edge technology, it's possible to develop computational models to help clinicians optimize the treatment of type 2 diabetes to prevent kidney disease." "There has been significant progress developing treatments for kidney disease in people with diabetes," says co-senior author Ronald Ma, MB BChir, FRCP, a professor in the Department of Medicine and Therapeutics at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. They also tested their model on a separate group of 326 Native Americans with type 2 diabetes, which helped ensure that their approach could predict kidney disease in different populations.
