Abstract
Conclusion
The current study showed that N/L ratio is an independent predictor of cIMT in type 2 DM patients in addition to other conventional CV risk factors also, N/L ratio is an independent predictor of albuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients in addition to duration of diabetes, HBA1c, SBP, BMI and eGFR.
Study limitations and recommendations
The main limitation was the limited study size. Future studies are required to clarify these relationships with a larger sample analysis. Our study was monoethnic cross-sectional and we suggest a multiethnic prospective study to be carried out to identify clinical outcome. We recommend the use of N/L ratio as a cost-effective and readily accessible novel biomarker for macro and microvascular complications of Type 2 DM.
