ITLN1 and diabetic kidney disease: The ROC curve plotted for the newer biomarkers of diabetic nephropathy (Figure 1) and Table 2 showed that there was a significant diagnostic utility in DN detection of serum omentin (p=0.000), IL-6 (p=0.002), and IL-6: omentin-1 ratio (p=0.000), which correlated well with the routine test that is urine microalbumin estimation.
