title: Relation of homocysteine and C-reactive protein to urinary albumin loss.
abstract: This study shows that elevated high-sensitivity C-reactive protein and plasma total homocysteine contribute independently to the likelihood of an increased urinary albumin:creatinine ratio. This result suggests that total homocysteine and C-reactive protein may be acting by separate mechanistic pathways.
