Introduction: The objective of the study was to assess the influence of metformin on the prevalence of cancer and risk factors for the development of cancer, in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Materials And Methods: A total of 1063 patients, treated between October 2012 and March 2013 in the Diabetes and Endocrinology Centre in Bydgoszcz, were enrolled in the study. Only patients who were first diagnosed with diabetes and consecutively with cancer were included in the analysis.
Background: Albuminuria is the best and most readily available marker for glomerular damage and progressive renal function loss in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Recently, administration of the oral glycosaminoglycan sulodexide (a mixture of 80% fast-moving heparin and 20% dermatan sulphate) was shown to effectively decrease albumin excretion rate in diabetics with nephropathy.
Aims: To evaluate whether the hypoalbuminuric effect of sulodexide is associated with improvement of the renal vascular or tubule function.
