Scatter plot showing the relationship between serum fetuin-A levels and coronary artery calcification score. Among Latino diabetic control patients, there was no significant relationship between serum fetuin-A and coronary artery calcification score (r = 0.0,P = 0.98). There was a direct relationship between serum fetuin-A levels and CAC between the Latino (r = 0.27,P = 0.17) and African Americans (r = 0.51,P = 0.006) with DN. Upon adjusting the data for race/ethnicity, there was a significant, direct relationship between serum fetuin-A levels and coronary artery calcification score (partialr = 0.36,P = 0.006).
