There is controversy as to whether increased plasma levels of human atrial natriuretic peptide (hANP) in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus may contribute to the development of diabetic nephropathy. Therefore, we decided to conduct two studies to examine the relationship of hANP levels to urinar
A familial predisposition has been proposed as a major determinant of the increased morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease demonstrated in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with nephropathy. We assessed this concept by studying 91 parents of Type 1 diabetic patients with neph
## Abstract ## Background Poor glycaemic control, hypertension and duration of diabetes are risk factors for the development of diabetic nephropathy, but there may be genetic factors. Recently, a common C to T mutation at nucleotide position 677 of the MTHFR gene (MTHFR677C > T) has been reported
