Abstract
Aims
To investigate the association between Flow-Mediated Dilation (FMD) and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
Methods
This cross-sectional study involved 194 individuals diagnosed with T2DM. Participants were categorized into two groups based on their UACR levels: the diabetic kidney disease group (DKD) (UACR≥30 mg/g) and the non-diabetic kidney disease group (non-DKD) (UACR <30 mg/g). The relationship between FMD and UACR was evaluated through Spearman correlation analysis and multivariable logistic regression analysis. Additionally, the predictive capacity of FMD for DKD was determined using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis.
Results
Median FMD was lower in DKD group than in non-DKD group (3.9 vs 4.9, p = 0.011). Furthermore, a notable negative correlation was observed between FMD and UACR (r = −0.253, p < 0.05). Through logistic regression analysis, an increase in FMD by one standard deviation (SD) corresponded to a 35.6 % decrease in the likelihood of elevated UACR (OR: 0.644 [0.459–0.904]) (Model 1). Consistent findings were noted even after accounting for variables such as sex, age, BMI, hypertension, smoking habits, and alcohol intake (Model 2), as well as HbA1c levels, disease duration, and triglycerides (Model 3). The area under the ROC curve (AUC) for FMD was 0.686 (95 % CI 0.596–0.777).
Conclusions
FMD is independently correlated with UACR, which provides a clinical basis for the prevention and control of vascular complications in early DKD.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Diabetes and Its Complications (JDC) is a journal for health care practitioners and researchers, that publishes original research about the pathogenesis, diagnosis and management of diabetes mellitus and its complications. JDC also publishes articles on physiological and molecular aspects of glucose homeostasis.
The primary purpose of JDC is to act as a source of information usable by diabetes practitioners and researchers to increase their knowledge about mechanisms of diabetes and complications development, and promote better management of people with diabetes who are at risk for those complications.
Manuscripts submitted to JDC can report any aspect of basic, translational or clinical research as well as epidemiology. Topics can range broadly from early prediabetes to late-stage complicated diabetes. Topics relevant to basic/translational reports include pancreatic islet dysfunction and insulin resistance, altered adipose tissue function in diabetes, altered neuronal control of glucose homeostasis and mechanisms of drug action. Topics relevant to diabetic complications include diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy and nephropathy; peripheral vascular disease and coronary heart disease; gastrointestinal disorders, renal failure and impotence; and hypertension and hyperlipidemia.
