| Popis: | To the Editor: We read with great interest the article by Fukui M and colleagues1 evaluating the relationship between serum bilirubin and albuminuria in patients with type II diabetes. In this paper, the authors performed a number of correlations and a multiple regression analysis and concluded that the serum bilirubin level is associated with microalbuminuria and subclinical atherosclerosis in type II diabetic patients. |
