Urinary Amino-Terminal Pro-C-Type Natriuretic Peptide: A Novel Marker of Chronic Kidney Disease in Diabetes [Proteomics and Protein Markers]

CONCLUSIONS: Characterization of the products of proCNP in urine confirmed the presence of NTproCNP. In spot random urine from study participants with DM, NCR is inversely associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate. In contrast to ACR, NCR reflects nonvascular factors that likely include renal inflammation and fibrosis.
