The study aimed to analyze the pattern of selected excreted urinary biomarkers and its correlation with albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods: A total of 185 patients with type 2 diabetes were categorized according to KDIGO guideline based on albuminuria and eGFR. The urinary markers (transferrin, KIM-1, RBP, MCP-1 and NGAL) were measured by ELISA.Results: The urinary markers were associated with eGFR (total protein/Cr, p=0.001; RBP/Cr, p=0.007; MCP-1/Cr, p=0.023; NGAL/Cr, p=0.011) and albuminuria (total protein/Cr, p< 0.001; transferrin, p< 0.001; RBP/Cr, p< 0.001; MCP-1/Cr, p< 0.001; NGAL/Cr, p=0.002).Conclusion: The urinary marker levels (total protein, RBP, MCP-1, and NGAL) are elevated with severity of kidney damage and expressed more in progressive renal impairment.Keywords: diabetic kidney disease, urinary markers, albuminuria, transferrin, kidney injury molecule-1, retinol-binding protein, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin
