Glomerular and tubular dysfunctions and their relationship to adiponectin and oxidative stress in obese subjects

Conclusion Glomerular and tubular dysfunctions in obese individuals are related to low adiponectin and HDL-cholesterol levels and to oxidative stress. Tubular dysfunction precedes MA, so UGGT may be used as an early marker for obesity related nephropathy.
