Abstract
Serum cystatin-C (SCysC) and microalbuminuria are well-recognized early markers of renal damage. This study aims to assess whether these early markers are elevated in children with obesity and normal serum creatinine (SCr). Pediatric patients diagnosed with obesity were included (n = 105, ages 4-18 y) in this study. The patients were divided into three groups as follows: solely obese, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes. Serum cystatin-C,...
