Correlation between oxidative stress and hematological profile abnormalities in diabetic nephropathy

ConclusionNitric oxide and reduced glutathione were associated with the inflammatory status in diabetic renal dysfunction patients which reflected by elevation in leukocytes and neutrophils count, red cell distribution width as well as the reduction in values of erythrocytes, platelets count, hemoglobin and hematocrit. Therefore, hematological indices can play a role in predict the progression of diabetic nephropathy.
