Supplementary Material for: URINARY BIOMARKER PROFILES DEFINE DIVERGENT PATHWAYS IN ALBUMINURIC AND NON-ALBUMINURIC DIABETIC KIDNEY DISEASE
Abstract
Background: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) presents with distinct phenotypes, including albuminuric (ADKD) and non-albuminuric DKD (NADKD), which are not fully distinguished by conventional clinical markers. This study aimed to evaluate urinary biomarkers indicative of nephron injury—nephrin, epidermal growth factor (EGF), vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1), interleukin-18 (IL-18), and Rac-1 (Ras-related C3 botulinum toxin substrate) across various DKD phenotypes. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, 211 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were categorized into four groups based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR ≥ or
