Correlation of High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein and Plasma Fibrinogen with Individual Complications in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Objective: We investigated the correlation between acute-phase reactants, ie, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) or fibrinogen and diabetic complications. Methods: In 73 patients with type 2 diabetes, we investigated associations between both markers and carotid artery intimal medial complex thickness (IMT), heart rate variability, or urinary albumin excretion (UAE). Results: Log…
