The article presents a response on the comment of the study regarding the association of sublicnical first trimester renal abnormalities with preeclampsia (PE) in women in pregnant women with type 1 diabetes. It highlights several important issues in the comment and recognizes the need for a confirmatory study before translating the findings into clinical use. The authors also argue that they provide important clues to the underlying reasons for susceptibility to PE in women with diabetes.
