Urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (a) and urinary protein-creatinine ratio (b) were not increased in patients with type 1 diabetes (T1DM) compared to control subjects, suggesting that these patients were in the pre-microalbuminuric phase of diabetic nephropathy. However, urinary AGT-creatinine ratio was significantly increased in these patients compared to control subjects (c). Importantly, the AGT increase was not observed in plasma (d).
