Abstract Background Microalbuminuria is a prognostic marker of diabetes kidney disease. It is generally diagnosed as the ratio of urinary albumin to creatinine (UACR) of 30-300 mg/g. Hashimoto’s thyroiditis is a common disease in the endocrinology and the thyroid antibodies may associated with kidney disease. We investigated the UACR in the newly diagnosed T2DM with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and tried to detect the relationship between the UACR and thyroid antibodies. Methods One hundred twenty newly diagnosed T2DM patients with Hashimoto’s thyroiditis and euthyroidism and 50 sex and age-matched T2DM with non-Hashimoto’s and other thyroid disease were recruited. T2DM patients were divided into 2 groups by the titer of TPOAb: (1). TPOAb (+) group: T2DM with positive TPOAb (n = 105); (2). TPOAb (−) group: T2DM with negative TPOAb (n = 65). Results T2DM with positive TPOAb group had higher UACR than T2DM with negative TPOAb group (21.55 ± 7.28 vs 15.13 ± 5.69 mg/g, P < 0.01). UACR were positively related to BMI (r = 0.255, P < 0.05), FPG (r = 0.285, P < 0.05), HbA1c (r = 0.260, P < 0.05) and TPOAb (r = 0.349, P < 0.05). HbA1c (β = 0.793, P < 0.05), BMI (β = 0.342, P < 0.05) and lnTPOAb (β = 1.207, P < 0.05) were independently associated with UACR. Conclusions In the newly diagnosed T2DM patients, Hashimoto’s thyroiditis with TPOAb positive had higher UACR levels. TPOAb titer, BMI and HbA1c were independent associated with UACR in these patients.

Background Diabetic kidney disease is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). An early event in diabetic kidney disease is alteration of the glomerular basement membrane and the mesangial expansion. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of endopeptidases responsible for controlling the pathophysiological remodeling of tissues, including renal tissues. MMP-9 in human urine has been proposed as a marker of diabetic nephropathy and urinary tract infections (UTI). Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients who receive first level medical attention in Mexico. We used ELISA to measure MMP-9 levels in the urine of subjects with T2DM ≥ 18 years of age, who fulfilled the clinical requirements for calculation of glomerular filtration rate (GFR), according to the K/DOQI guide, in an attempt to identify whether MMP-9 levels in T2DM differ in patients with and without renal impairment. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed in order to identify the association between MMP-9 and renal impairment. Results Included in the study were 34 (45%) subjects with renal impairment and 42 (55%) without. In the group with renal impairment, 10 subjects corresponded to stages 1–2 and 24 subjects corresponded to stage 3, according to their values of GFR and urinary albumin, following that proposed by the K/DOQI. No differences were found relating to sex, age, having or not having a partner, education, being able to read and write a message and duration of T2DM. Moreover, no differences were found between the groups in terms of weight, height, body mass index, waist size in general and frequency of UTI. In contrast, serum creatinine and urinary albumin were higher in the group with renal impairment, while GFR was greater in the group without renal impairment. Levels of MMP-9 were greater in women compared to men. Through univariate analysis in the general population, the presence of MMP-9 and that of its percentile 90 (P90) P90 were associated with the renal impairment group; however, in patients without UTI, only the presence of MMP-9 was associated with the renal impairment group, and no association was found with its P90. Multivariate analysis revealed an association between MMP-9 and its P90 with renal impairment. Discussion It is necessary to validate sensitive and non-invasive biological markers of CKD. We demonstrate that the presence and P90 of urinary MMP-9 are associated with renal impairment in Mexican patients with T2DM. While high levels of MMP-9 were associated to females and UTI, the presence of UTI was not associated with the incidence of renal impairment.

In 2010, the Global Burden of Disease research revealed that cases of chronic kidney disease had increased and became a serious health problem. Indonesia Basic Health Research data in 2013 revealed that the proportion of patients with chronic kidney failure aged ≥ 15 years old based on doctor's diagnosis was 0,2% and 0,6% kidney stones. Therefore the aim of the study is to analyze the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease in the population of Indonesia in 2014-2015. This type of research is observational with a cross-sectional design. The study used secondary data from the Indonesia Family Life Survey (IFLS) 5 in 2014-2015. The sampling technique used total sampling, which found 34,012 people who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. The independent variables of this study are type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease as the dependent variable. Covariate variables are age, sex, smoking status, history of hypertension, and history of high cholesterol. Analysis bivariate of the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease in this study using chi square and multivariate analysis using logistic regression test. The magnitude of the effect expressed in the prevalence odds ratio (POR) with confident interval (CI: 95%.) This study shows the prevalence of chronic kidney disease in Indonesia population in 2014 – 2015 is 1%. The result of chi-square test of the relationship between type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease in the Indonesian population showed POR=2.48 (p-value =0.0002; 95%CI 1.422-4.071). Multivariate analysis with logistic regression tests shows that smoking status, history of high cholesterol, and history of hypertension influence the relationship of type 2 diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease.

Background: Diabetes is a very common disease now a days . It has adverse effect on many human organs as its duration increases. Many studies exist to show its bad effects on body organs in different parts of world. We have studied is there any relation between microalbuminuria with HbA1c levels. Methods: we have done a cross sectional study from January 2016 to March 2017 in a tertiary health care hospital located in Jhalawar, Rajasthan. Our study includes all the known case of type 2 diabetes mellitus patients of age group of 45 years and above. Results: Total 69 patients had Urinary albumin level less than 30 mg/dl out of which Hb1Ac was less than 6.5% present in 20.2% of patients and 79.7% of patients had more than 6.5%. Total 31 patients had Urinary albumin level more than 30 mg/dl out of which only 3% had Hb1Ac value less than 6.5 % whereas 96% had Hb1Ac value more than 6.5%. This association was found to be clinically significant (Pearson Chi-Square- 4.888, df is 1 and p value is 0.027, Fishers Exact test is 0.033) Conclusion: Patients having microalbuminuria were associated with high level of glycosylated haemoglobin. Keywords: Diabetes Mellitus, Microalbuminuria, Glycosylated Hemoglobin.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) leads to substantial morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Evidence suggests that antidiabetic drug dipeptidyl-peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitors may be able to attenuate albuminuria, whereas the influence of sulfonylureas on albuminuria remains unclear. This prospective open-label study investigated the effect of DPP-4 inhibitors and sulfonylureas on urinary albumin excretion, which is a marker of renal microvascular abnormality. A total of 101 participants with newly diagnosed T2DM were enrolled. In addition to metformin therapy, 45 patients were assigned to receive DPP-4 inhibitors and 56 to receive sulfonylureas. Urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) was significantly reduced in recipients of DPP-4 inhibitors after 24 weeks (29.2 µg/mg creatinine vs. 14.9 µg/mg creatinine, P < 0.001), whereas urinary ACR was not significantly changed by sulfonylureas (39.9 µg/mg creatinine vs. 43.2 µg/mg creatinine, P = 0.641). The effect on albuminuria occurred even though both treatment groups had a similar change in serum glycated hemoglobin A1c (−1.87 % vs.−2.40 %, P = 0.250). Therefore, in diabetic patients the addition of DPP-4 inhibitors lowered urinary albumin excretion compared to sulfonylureas, and attenuation of albuminuria may be a consideration when choosing between antidiabetic medications.
