Description
Md. Sabbir Hossain and colleagues test, in 2026, a urine marker that may catch diabetic kidney harm early. The standard urine test spots damage late and can miss early injury to filter cells. A protein shed by those cells, podocalyxin, was measured in 88 adults in Bangladesh. The group mixed healthy controls with diabetes patients split by urine protein level.
Marker levels rose step by step from healthy to the worst kidney group. Levels tracked closely with urine protein and with blood sugar control, and fell as kidney function fell. Set cut-offs split each stage with high accuracy in the tests. The authors urge long-term checks before clinic use. Early flags could start guard care sooner.
