Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates include adults over 18 with type 1 diabetes, particularly those with nephropathy or normal albuminuria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with type 2 diabetes or those under 18 years old may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This observational study aims to explore how nephropathy affects high density lipoprotein (HDL) functionality in patients with type 1 diabetes. It will compare T1D patients with nephropathy at different stages (microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria) to those without nephropathy, focusing on alterations in HDL size, composition, and associated inflammatory markers. Blood and urine samples will be collected to assess these parameters and their relationship with kidney function. The study seeks to deepen understanding of HDL's role in diabetic nephropathy.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved management strategies for type 1 diabetes patients with nephropathy.
How similar studies have gone: While there is ongoing research into HDL functionality in diabetes, this specific focus on nephropathy in type 1 diabetes is relatively novel.
