Biomarkers in Diabetes

Diabetes is a major lifestyle disease and a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases. It is necessary to identify the potential biomarkers associated with diabetes for the early detection of the disease and its proper management. Elevated blood pressure, low HDL cholesterol, and elevated triglycerides are some of the common biomarkers of diabetes, adiponectin, C-reactive protein (CRP), ferritin, interleukin-2 receptor A being the other counterparts. Apart from these available and known biomarkers, other potential biomarkers are also being searched and reported by researchers.
