Serum neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin is the dependent variable.
Dur duration of diabetes in years, BMI body mass index, s-FG serum fasting glucose, s–Cr serum creatinine, s-alb serum albumin, GA% serum glycated albumin%, HbA1c% glycosylated hemoglobin%, CI confidence interval.
p-value ≤ 0.05 is significant correlation
