Does belly fat around kidneys predict diabetic kidney trouble?
Part of Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at whether the fat around your kidneys can help predict kidney problems in people with type 2 diabetes. It involves a simple ultrasound to measure that fat.
