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 (300 30 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 value<0.005. Also increase in 8-OHdG and MDA with a p value<0.005 in G2, G3 and G4 compared with control.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
