Insulin resistance characterizes type 1 diabetes in patients with albuminuria. A PC-1 glycoprotein amino acid variant, K121Q, is associated with insulin resistance. We examined the impact of the PC-1 K121Q variant on the rate of decline of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) by creatinine clearance derived from the Cockroft-Gault formula in 77 type 1 diabetic patients with albuminuria who were followed for an...
