Inactive Matrix Gla Protein in Relation to Renal and Cardiac Functions and Cardiac Valvular Calcification Among Type 2 Diabetes Patients.

Serum inactive MGP may contribute to the development of DKD and to the associated process of cardiac valvular calcification. It may be a beneficial diagnostic marker for early prediction of cardiac calcification and preclinical LV systolic and diastolic dysfunction in T2D patients, especially in those complicated with DKD.
