Introduction. Diabetes and its vascular complications are main noncommunicable chronic diseases and major global health issues. Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is highly prevalent in diabetes with nephropathy. We evaluated the associations of variables of arterial stiffness and the decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes.Materials and Methods. A total of 577 type 2 diabetic patients (mean±SD: age,63±11years) were enrolled. A rapid decline in eGFR was defined as progressively lower eGFR detected at both the 6- and 12-month follow-up visits, plus a reduction in eGFR more than 3 mL·min−1per 1.73 m2per year.Results. Higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), pulse pressure (PP), and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (ba-PWV) at baseline were independently associated with a rapid decline in eGFR. The adjusted odds ratios (95% confidence intervals) for a rapid decline in eGFR for ba-PWV, SBP, and PP were 1.072 (1.011–1.136), 1.014 (1.004–1.025), and 1.025 (1.008–1.041), respectively, after adjustment for gender, age, body mass index, smoking, HbA1c, and baseline eGFR in separated models.Conclusions. Ba-PWV may serve as a simple and noninvasive predictor of rapid renal function progression in type 2 diabetic patients.

Objectives. To evaluate eight modified equations developed in Asiatic populations in type 2 diabetic patients in China.Methods. A total of 209 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes were recruited. Using the technetium—99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid—glomerular filtration rate (GFR) to act as the reference, comparisons of their efficiency to estimate GFR in the subjects were made between various equations.Results. Median of difference of the Chinese equation 1 was the lowest (median of difference, 0.51 mL/min/1.73 m2). Median percent of absolute difference of the Chinese equation 2 was less than those of the other equations (26.97 versus ranged from 32.54 to 37.61 mL/min/1.73 m2, [P<0.001for all]). Precision of the simplified reexpressed MDRD equation was the best (92.9 mL/min/1.73 m2). Accuracies of the Chinese equation 2 were greater (P<0.05for all). There was also an improvement in chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage misclassification of the Chinese equation 2 (55.0 versus ranged from 61.2 to 64.6%, [P<0.001for all]). However, the 30% accuracies of all the equations were less than 70%.Conclusions. Our study highlighted a limitation in the use of the above equations in the majority of Chinese diabetic subjects. A better equation is needed in order to give an accurate estimation of GFR in type 2 diabetic patients in China.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is significantly associated with peripheral arterial disease (PAD) in some studies, but data on the association of the risk of PAD across a broad range of kidney function in patients with type 2 diabetes are limited. Between October 17, 2013 and February 7, 2015, all consecutive outpatients with type 2 diabetes underwent ankle-brachial index (ABI) examination. We investigated the association of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) with the risk of PAD. A total of 1254 patients were cross-classified into 12 groups based on ACR category (normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria) and eGFR stage (≥90, 60–89, 30–59 and <30 mL/min/1.73 m2). Logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the association of eGFR and ACR with PAD. Within each ACR category, a lower eGFR stage was associated with PAD. Similarly, within each eGFR group, a higher ACR category was also associated with PAD. The OR for PAD was highest in patients with eGFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m2 and macroalbuminuria (OR 14.42, 95% CI 4.60 to 45.31) when compared with the reference group of subjects with eGFR ≥90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and normoalbuminuria. Our study found that cross-classification of eGFR with ACR revealed a more comprehensive association with risk of PAD than eGFR or ACR alone.
