CONCLUSIONS: This is the first study reporting tHcy, Cys and B-vitamins status in T2D-CKD patients. Although limited to our cohort of 178 patients, our findings could be helpful in clarifying the conflicting literature regarding B-vitamins supplementation. Further studies are necessary before any Hcy-lowering therapy can be safely established in T2D-CKD subjects.
