“…Besides, we noted a significant correlation with plasma OPG levels and microalbuminuria which may support the concept that elevated plasma OPG may be associated with diabetic nephropathy. These findings are in agreement with previous studies . It has been demonstrated that patients with nephropathy and high OPG levels had significantly higher all‐cause mortality than patients with low levels (Table ).…”

“…Given the inconsistent results of previous studies, we performed subgroup analyses to identify the effects of the serum OPG level on renal prognosis. We divided patients into subgroups based on factors associated with the serum OPG level: old age [43], presence of diabe- tes mellitus [43,44], and decreased eGFR [33][34][35]. Notably serum OPG level showed a statistically significant link with renal prognosis in all subgroups.…”

“…In particular, miR-23~27~24 clusters positively correlated with OPG, also known as TNF receptor superfamily, member 11b, a member of the TNFrelated family implicated in the process of bone remodelling [50][51][52]. Importantly, OPG is involved in the pathogenesis of a plethora of diabetic complications: retinopathy; angiopathy; low bone mineral density with lower osteoblast and increased osteoclast signalling, predisposing to adult osteopenia and osteoporosis; extraosseous calcification, resulting in stiffening of the arteries and subsequent vascular insufficiency; nephropathy; and general cardiovascular morbidity in children with type 1 diabetes [53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60].…”
