摘要: Context: Pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF), a circulating glycoprotein with antiangiogenic, antioxidative, and anti-inflammatory properties, protects against diabetic nephropathy (DN) in animal models. Objective: We investigated whether PEDF predicted the progression of DN 4-year prospective study. Design, Setting, Participants: Baseline plasma levels were measured type 2 subjects recruited from Hong Kong West Diabetes Registry. The role predicting chronic kidney disease (CKD) albuminuria was analyzed using Cox regression analysis. Main Outcome Measure: evaluated CKD progression, defined as deterioration staging 25% or greater drop estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) according to International Society Nephrology statements. Results: At baseline, increased progressively (P for trend <.001; n = 1136). Among 1071 baseline stage ≤3, ...
