title: Urinary type IV collagen excretion predicts subsequent declining renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria.
abstract: Baseline urinary type IV collagen excretion was negatively correlated with the subsequent GFR change (r(s)=-0.39, p=0.04) in our cohort of 30 type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria. Therefore, it could be used to predict subsequent declining renal function in type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria.
