| Research Abstract |
Using spontaneous type 2 diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, we examined temporal pattern of novel tubular markers in the urine for early diagnosis and evaluation of the severity of diabetic nephropathy. Urinary kidney injury molecule-1 (Kim-1) showed significant elevation before increase in albuminuria and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) in the OLETF rats with histopathologically proven renal tubular injury, compared with non-diabetic controls, Long-Evans Tokushima Otsuka (LETO) rats. In addition, urinary human KIM-1 showed elevation in type 2 diabetic patients with nephropathy compared with nondiabetic patients. Thus, urinary Kim-1 is a useful biomarker for the detection of early stage of type 2 diabetic nephropathy.
