Relationship between serum osteopontin concentration and progression of diabetic nephropathy and renal function by Ji Zhou, Li-min Shen

“…Univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that duration of diabetes， fasting blood glucose， UACR， eGFR， Scr and OPN were closely correlated with progression of DN and renal function （<italic>P</italic>&lt;005）. Receiver operating curve （ROC） analysis showed that the area under the curve （AUC） of OPN concentration for diagnosing DN progression and renal function were 0.812 and 0.866 respectively （<italic>P</italic>&lt;0.05）.ConclusionIn DN patients， a decline of serum osteopontin concentration is associated with disease progression and renal function injury. …”
