دواعي الإستعمال
The AER is the main parameter used in diabetic patients to clinically evaluate early diabetic nephropathy. Apart from its use in monitoring renal functional loss, AER is considered an indicator of endothelial dysfunction as well as an independent marker for cardiovascular disease. However, due to the inherent variability of AER, several tests are advisable in the follow up of diabetic patients.
