**9. Conclusions**

Altered (circulating or urinary) levels of MBG seem to predict the development of diseases characterized by volume expansion, such as CKD, certain CV diseases and PE, demonstrating its possible preventive, diagnostic or monitoring role. MBG can now probably be observed in a different "light", as a new important target for the prevention/treatment of kidney and CV development and progression.
