Study group consists of 40 individuals with diabetic nephropathy and 30 ages and sex matched healthy individuals (control). Results: Serum vaspin of diabetic nephropathy patients showed a high significant relationship (p<0.0001). As compared with the controls. There is high significant decrease (p<0.001) in the serum levels of T4 and T3. There is high significant increase (p<0.001) in the serum levels of TSH as compared with the controls.
