  Author(s): BK Myke-Mbata*, SC Meludu, CE Dioka and PHO Amodu
  
  Background: Diabetic Peripheral neuropathy is one of the most common cardiovascular complications among diabetes mellitus patients and occurs in more than half of the population of diabetic patients world-wide. It is a common cause of foot ulcer, gangrene and amputation among diabetics. Thus, its prevention or early treatment can improve the quality of life of diabetic patients. In a bid to reduce it, various biochemical markers have been evaluated to enable early treatment and amelioration of diabetic neuropathy among diabetes mellitus patients. Aim: Evaluation of the diagnostic relevance of Cystatin-C versus Albumin-creatinine ratio in assessment of Peripheral neuropathy in diabetic type 2 subjects. Method: 102 type 2 DM subjects (66 females and 36 males) and 100 control subjects of same age range (40 – 80 years).. Read More»
