Discussion

Cross-sectional study assesses cystatin C and renal resistive index in T2DM, suggesting improved early detection of DKD.

Cystatin C and renal resistive index bring early insights into renal dysfunction in T2DM patients.
Elevated cystatin C was found in 91% of subjects, while only 63% showed abnormal serum creatinine levels.
Multivariate analysis identified UACR and RRI as significant predictors of eGFR, enhancing DKD screening.
The findings support integrating cystatin C and RRI with existing markers for better early detection.

Mahashabde et al. (2025) studied this question.
