Higher circulating levels of non-esterified fatty acids are associated with faster kidney function decline in post-menopausal women with type 2 diabetes: a pilot prospective study

ConclusionsThe findings of this exploratory prospective study show that in post-menopausal women with T2DM and preserved kidney function at baseline, higher circulating levels of NEFA were strongly associated with a faster kidney function decline, even after adjustment for established renal risk factors and potential confounders.
