Furthermore, patients with DN had a higher BMI (23.60±1.80 vs. 20.99±2.99; P = 0.001), a stroke more frequently (12.5% vs. 11.1%; P = 0.049), decreased DBP (71.91±8.56 vs. 82.00±13.15; P = 0.001), decreased MAP (92.42±8.95 vs. 99.71±14.70; P = 0.009), decreased eGFR (7.29±2.96 vs. 9.69±5.13; P = 0.013), and decreased serum albumin (33.03±4.54 vs. 37.60±4.99; P<0.001) than patients without DN. The gene discussed is ALB; the disease is Stroke.
