Introduction: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a devastating diabetes complication. DN is associated with a competitive risk of either progression to a worse stage of DN or premature mortality. Mortality is mainly due to cardiovascular events. Tubular dysfunction is involved in the loss of kidney function. Therefore, tubular biomarkers could add significant benefit to early identification of DN, prediction of DN progression and to screening for risk of cardiovascular events. Aims: The aims of this thesis were to investigate, in individuals with T1DM, if three urinary biomarkers [liver-type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP), kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM-1) and urinary adiponectin (ADP)] could outperform the currently available biomarkers for ...
