This study aimed to determine if the degree of anemia in patients with type 2 diabetes is an independent predictor of albuminuria or creatinine clearance. The researchers conducted a retrospective cohort study of 10 African American patients with anemia prior to the onset of nephropathy. They found a positive correlation between the severity of anemia at the initial visit and outcomes related to diabetic nephropathy, suggesting that anemia may be an earlier marker than microalbuminuria.
