Silent cerebral infarction is associated with the development and progression of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes. The relationship between renal manifestations of CKD (albuminuria and decreased glomerular filtration rate) and silent cerebral infarction (SCI) has attracted attention; however, most studi...

Zusammenfassung: | Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes. The relationship between renal manifestations of CKD (albuminuria and decreased glomerular filtration rate) and silent cerebral infarction (SCI) has attracted attention; however, most studies examined the effects of components of CKD on prevalence of SCI. We sought to assess the relationship between SCI and the development and progression of nephropathy in type 2 diabetic patients. We studied 366 type 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio [ACR] |
