Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of the chitotriosidase enzyme in diabetic nephropathy, a condition affecting kidney function in type 2 diabetes.
- Researchers analyzed chitotriosidase activity and genetics in 262 diabetic patients and 90 non-diabetic controls to determine its association with kidney disease measures.
- Results indicated higher chitotriosidase levels correlated with worsening kidney function, while a specific gene mutation appeared to offer some protection against nephropathy.
