Terami et al. showed that uAGT positively correlated with the albumin/creatinine ratio and urinary α1-microglobuline and pointed out that uAGT–α1-microglobulin correlation more accurately reflected the tubular injury associated with the intrarenal RAS activation in patients with T2DM [41]. This evidence concerns the gene DPAGT1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus.
