Chronic renal inflammation and fibrosis are common sequelae in diabetes mellitus (DM) and are major causes of premature mortality. Although upregulation of expression occurs in response to renal inflammation in experimental animals， nothing is known of the molecular forms of C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) products in urine of people with DM or links with renal function.
