Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: To study the association between apolipoprotein E (apoE) genotype and the rate of decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in type 2 diabetic patients in a 9-year prospective study. METHODS: GFR was determined in 84 type 2 diabetic patients by plasma clearance of (51)Cr-EDTA at baseline and after 9 years of follow-up. ApoE genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction and restriction enzyme...
