Similarly, recent studies have reported higher fibrinogen levels in macro- compared to microalbuminuric patients and controls [27], while Corti et al. [28] found increased CRP and fibrinogen levels in diabetic patients with microangiopathic complications (retinopathy, nephropathy) compared to normal subjects but no difference in inflammatory marker levels between patients with and without microangiopathy. The gene discussed is CRP; the disease is kidney disorder.
