title: Altered renal function in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetes.
abstract: Altered renal function namely enhanced FE Mg and impaired hemodynamics is observed in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetes. Since FE Mg correlates directly with tubulointerstitial fibrosis, enhanced FE Mg reflects tubulointerstitial disease even in normoalbuminuric type 2 diabetes. This implies that microalbuminuria is not sensitive to early detect diabetic nephropathy.
