Predictive significance of kidney myeloid-related protein 8 expression in patients with obesity- or type 2 diabetes-associated kidney diseases.

Predictive significance of kidney myeloid-related protein 8 expression in patients with obesity- or type 2 diabetes-associated kidney diseases.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: We have reported that toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) and one of its endogenous ligands, myeloid-related protein 8 (MRP8 or S100A8), play an important role in the progression of diabetic nephropathy in mice.
