Abstract

Background: In diabetic patients, non-diabetic kidney disease (NDKD) may occur independently or alongside diabetic kidney disease (DKD). This study explored the utility of kidney biopsy in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients and the predictability of diagnosing DKD combined with NDKD using clinical and laboratory data.

Methods: This retrospective study examines medical records of T2DM patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsy at Hangzhou TCM Hospital, Zhejiang Chinese Medical University, from 2012 to 2023. The patient's demographic, clinical, blood test and pathological examination data were retrieved from their medical records. Multivariate regression analysis evaluated predictive factors for NDKD superimposed on DKD (DKD+NDKD).

Results: A total of 285 patients were analyzed. The average age at the time of renal biopsy was 53.26 ± 10.55 years. The duration of diabetes was 93.19 ± 70.78 months. Of the patient population, 35.44% (101/285) were diagnosed with DKD alone, while 64.56% (184/285) had DKD+NDKD. Immunoglobulin A nephropathy was the most common pathological type in the DKD+NDKD group, accounting for 37.30% of the patients. Cystatin C [HR=2.688, 95% CI 1.035-6.879, P < 0.05] independently predicted the prognosis of patients with DKD+NDKD.

Conclusions: These findings suggest that cystatin C plays a role in influencing the prognosis of patients with DKD + NDKD, indicating that NDKD patients might require distinct treatment strategies compared to those with DKD alone. However, further prospective clinical trials are needed to provide more clarity on the prognosis and outcomes of diabetic patients.

期刊介绍： Frontiers in Endocrinology is a field journal of the "Frontiers in" journal series. In today’s world, endocrinology is becoming increasingly important as it underlies many of the challenges societies face - from obesity and diabetes to reproduction, population control and aging. Endocrinology covers a broad field from basic molecular and cellular communication through to clinical care and some of the most crucial public health issues. The journal, thus, welcomes outstanding contributions in any domain of endocrinology. Frontiers in Endocrinology publishes articles on the most outstanding discoveries across a wide research spectrum of Endocrinology. The mission of Frontiers in Endocrinology is to bring all relevant Endocrinology areas together on a single platform.
