Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the potential association between thyroid function and diabetes complications in the elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Aims: We investigated the potential association between thyroid parameters and microalbuminuria in the euthyroid elderly subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Subjects: Elderly inhospital patients with T2DM who visited in the Department of Endocrinology at the Nanjing First Hospital from January 2011 to December 2012.

Methods: Clinical factors, serum levels of glucose, lipids, free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), thyroid autoantibodies,24h urine albuminuria and fluorescence fundus angiography are conducted.

The relationships levels of thyroid function and diabetic complications are analysed.
