Purpose: To assess the level of biomarkers of early kidney damage (urinary and plasma cystatin C) in patients with prediabetes and to characterize their association with risk factors for the development of nephropathy.Materials and methods: The object of the study were 60 patients (32% men, 68% women) with early disorders of carbohydrate metabolism (impaired fasting glycemia (IFG) and impaired carbohydrate tolerance (IGT), WHO criteria, 2009). The mean a...

Purpose: To study the frequency of polymorphic alleles and genotypes of the PPARG (rs 1801282) gene and its effect on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in patients with prediabetes.Materials and methods: The object of the study were 60 patients (32% men, 68% women) with early disorders of carbohydrate metabolism (WHO criteria, 2009). The mean age was 44.3 ± 7.8 years. The average value of fasting glycemia - 5.7±0.42 mmol/l, the average level of gly...
