Serum uromodulin predicts a decline in kidney function independently from the presence of type 2 diabetes

Aim: Uromodulin is the most abundant protein excreted in urine. Low uromodulin has been found to be associated with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) as well as with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Whether it predicts a future decline in kidney function is not known and addressed in the present study.
