Popis: Introduction: To assess the potential of galectin-3 and growth differentiation factor-15 (GDF-15) biomarkers for the early detection of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Methodology: This was a cross-sectional study conducted over a period of 1.2 years. Patients were stratified based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria level. The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was plotted to assess the diagnostic potential of biomarkers. Conclusion: In DKD patients the galectin-3 and GDF-15 levels were inversely related to the eGFR which was further confirmed by the ROC curve demonstrating the potential of galectin-3 and GDF-15 as a biomarker.
