To investigate the visfatin levels at the stages of diabetic nephropathy(DNP), changes in visfatin levels according to stages of DNP, and the association of visfatin levels with other anti-inflammatory parameters including high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor alpha(TNFα). Patients were divided into 4 groups based on the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and albuminuria as follows; Group I: albuminuria60ml/min, Group II:albuminuria 30 to 300 mg per day and GFR>60ml/min, Group III:albuminuria>300mg per day and GFR>60ml/min, and Group IV:albuminuria>300 mg per day and GFR
