RESUMO
Urinary excretions of transforming grow th factor-? 1 (TGF-? 1), laminin (LN) and type Ⅳ collagen were determined i n 182 type 2 diabetic patients. Urinary excretions of TGF-? 1, LN and type Ⅳ collagen were increased in type 2 diabetic patients, and these findings were fa irly well correlated with severity of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Urinary TGF-? 1 seems to be the early index of DN, urinary LN and type Ⅳ collagen appear to be the indices of DN severity.
