Diabetes Research Highlights: Glomerular Hyperfiltration, Cholesterol Reduction, and Estimation of Glomerular Filtration Rates

A trio of studies from Japan and France sheds light on the complex relationships between diabetes, cholesterol levels, and glomerular filtration rates. Researchers have identified compelling evidence of glomerular hyperfiltration in nonproteinuric and nonhypertensive Japanese type 2 diabetic patients, while also investigating the effects of atorvastatin on low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
