Diabetes Risk and Survival Biomarkers

Study focused on biomarker potential of GDF-15 and eGFRdiff in diabetic patients.

Researchers followed 638 Japanese adults for 5 years.

Lower eGFRdiff was linked to higher CKD progression risk.

Elevated GDF-15 levels correlated with increased mortality.

The suggested biomarkers could enhance disease insight and risk stratification.

Study limitations include observational design and population specificity.
