IIT Bombay Identifies Biomarkers To Predict Kidney Failure in Diabetics
Research led by the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay has identified hidden blood biomarkers that can flag early warning signs of diabetic kidney disease.
The finding, according to researchers, could help in early diagnosis and pave the way for more personalised treatment.
India, often called the diabetes capital of the world, has around 101 million adults currently living with the condition and another 136 million at risk with prediabetes, making Type 2 diabetes a public health concern in the country.
