Aim: To investigate the correlation of GDF-15 with renal damage and dyslipidemia in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.Material and Method: The study was conducted prospectively with patients diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. Two groups were formed as non-albuminuric (n:47) and albuminuric (n:24). Age, gender, comorbidities, GDF-15, glycemic index, lipid panel, GFR, urine albumin/creatin (ACR) and urine protein/creatin (PCR) ratios of the groups were compared and their correlations were examined.Results: GDF-15, age and hemoglobin A1c were found to be higher in the albuminuric group, and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were found to be lower. A positive correlation of GDF-15 with urine ACR/PCR was observed in the albuminuric group. In the non-albuminuric group, was observed positive correlation with Triglyceride and negative correlation with HDL. Negative correlation of GDF-15 and GFR was detected in all participants.Conclusions: In type-2 DM, GDF-15 is positively correlated albuminuria and TRG elevation and negatively correlated with GFR and HDL
