Clinical Trial: Arterial Calcification in the Diabetes

Study Status: Active, not recruiting
Recruit Status: Active, not recruiting
Study Type: Observational




Official Title: Study of the Mechanisms of the Arterial Calcification of the Members Subordinates in the Diabetes (Implication of the System RANK / RANKL / OSTEOPROTEGERINE)

Brief Summary: The blood concentration of the protein RANKL could be predictive of the calcification of the leg arteries, which is a major complication occurring during diabetes. The objective of the DIACART study is to show that blood RANKL concentration predict the progression of calcification of the leg arteries in diabetic patients, independently of other cardiovascular risk factors.
