Abstract In this study are investigated the cardiovascular risk factors that as shown in literature also represent risk factors for early glomerular function alteration in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. The patients were divided according to their glomerular filtration rate in 2 groups, one group of patients with GFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m (118 patients) and the other with GFR between 60-89 mL/min/1.73 m2 (126 patients). Older age, hypertension, poor glycemic control, increased BMI, high LDL-cholesterol, high triglyceride level, insulin resistance and high level of apolipoprotein-B appeared to be more prevalent in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with mildly reduced kidney function. Even patients with mildly reduced GFR (without confirmed diabetic kidney disease) have an important aggregation of cardiovascular risk factors and their early identification is important for controlling them in order to further prevent glomerular decline.
