V-ATPase subunit C 1 and IKBIP as tandem prospective biomarkers for diabetic nephropathy

Diabetes Res Clin PractPublished Cross-sectional urine proteomic biomarker study

Authors' conclusion

The present findings of our study indicate that the decreasing V-ATPase subunit C 1 together with increasing IKBIP in urine, were found to be closely associated with DN complications and signifying their value as biomarkers for predicting the risk of DN at initial diagnosis.
