Circulating endotrophin is an early marker of kidney disease development in persons with type 2 diabetes
Introduction
NordicEndotrophin™ (Endotrophin), a pro-fibrotic fragment generated during collagen type VI formation, measured by nordicPRO-C6™, has been largely investigated as a biomarker of adverse outcome in persons with diabetic kidney disease. We investigated its potential to predict kidney disease onset in two independent type 2 diabetes (T2D) cohorts.

Conclusion
Circulating nordicEndotrophin™, measured by the nordicPRO-C6™ assay, was a risk marker for kidney outcomes in people with T2D without or with early kidney disease. This adds to the evidence that nordicEndotrophin™is a relevant biomarker of kidney complications in T2D, even in persons with no or mild kidney disease at baseline.
