Abstract
This is the first study reporting a paradoxical association of adiponectin with all-cause mortality in a large sample of unselected diabetic patients and indicating that such counterintuitive effect is observed only among patients with preserved kidney function. Further studies are needed to address if the strong interwoven effect of adiponectin and GFR turns to be useful in improving previously validated tools for predicting mortality in T2D.
