The Predictive Value of CRP Levels on Future Severe Renal Disease in Overweight and Obese Subjects Without Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertension

This study showed that increased CRP levels in nondiabetic, nonhypertensive, overweight, and obese individuals could possibly associated with impaired renal functions that might be originating from endothelial dysfunction. Determination of cutoff levels of CRP, as in cardiovascular diseases, may be useful for early estimation and prevention of renal diseases.
