Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To investigate whether arterial microcalcification (18F-NaF-PET detected) and macrocalcification (CT detected) are increased in patients with T2D with preserved renal function who have macroalbuminuria as compared to patients with normoalbuminuria.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
1.To investigate whether arterial microcalcification (18F-NaF-PET detected) and macrocalcification (CT detected) are associated with vascular stiffness (assessed by PWV).<br /><br>2.To investigate whether arterial microcalcification (18F-NaF-PET detected) and macrocalcification (CT detected) are associated with markers of the metabolic syndrome, including adipose tissue volumes (visceral and subcutaneous), adipokines, insulin resistance index (HOMA-IR), and clinical components (HbA1c, fasting glucose, lipid metabolism, and blood pressure).<br /><br>3.To investigate whether arterial microcalcification (18F-NaF-PET detected) and macrocalcification (CT detected) are associated with markers of the calcium phosphate metabolism <br /><br>4.To investigate which of the above mentioned factors (i.e. macroalbuminuria, metabolic syndrome, calcium phosphate metabolism, and kidney function) are independent determinants of arterial microcalcification (18F-NaF-PET detected) and macrocalcification (CT detected).<br>
