AbstractObjectivesThe aim of the present study is to evaluate the diagnostic powers of fractional magnesium, sodium and potassium as markers of renal tubular damage in normotensive type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with respect to microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR).Materials and methodsForty healthy volunteers and 91 normotensive T2DM patients were included in the study. Patient group was divided into two according to albuminuria level; 49 were normoalbuminuric and 42 were microalbuminuric. In addition to albumin in urine, urine and serum Na, K, Mg and creatinine values were measured to calculate fractional electrolyte excretion rates.ResultsIn normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric groups, fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) values were found to be significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05). There was a moderate correlation between FEMg and albümin to cratinin ratio (ACR) (Spearman r = 0.3215, p < 0.05). In the ROC analysis for eGFR and FEMg based on microalbuminuria, the areas under the curve were 0.625 and 0.732, respectively (diagnostic sensitivity 59.52% and 66.67%; specificity 70.79% and 77.53%, p < 0.05).ConclusionFor renal tubular damage predicted by microalbuminuria, FEMg could be accepted as a candidate biochemical marker with diagnostic and prognostic value.

Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a main cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in adulthood. No studies have examined the occurrence of acute kidney injury (AKI)—that enhances the risk of later CKD—and renal tubular damage (RTD)—that can evolve to AKI—in children with onset of T2DM. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence and possible features of AKI and RTD in a prospectively enrolled population of children with onset of T2DM. We consecutively enrolled 10 children aged 12.9 ± 2.3 years with newly diagnosed T2DM. AKI was defined according to the KDIGO criteria. RTD was defined by abnormal urinary beta-2-microglobulin and/or tubular reabsorption of phosphate (TRP) < 85% and/or fractional excretion of Na > 2%. None of the patients developed AKI, whereas 3/10 developed RTD with high beta-2-microglobulin levels (range: 0.6–1.06 mg/L). One of these three patients also presented with reduced TRP levels (TRP = 70%). Proteinuria was observed in two out of three patients with RTD, while none of patients without RTD had proteinuria. Patients with RTD presented higher beta-2-microglobulin, acute creatinine/estimated basal creatinine ratio, and serum ketones levels compared with patients without RTD. In conclusion, in our pilot observation, we found that none of the 10 children with T2DM onset developed AKI, whereas three of them developed RTD.

The article discusses problems of early diagnosis and, accordingly, treatment of hepatorenal syndrome (HRS) in case of obstructive jaundice of blastomatous origin. The results of a comprehensive examination of 37 patients with blastomatous obstructive jaundice (OJ) with clinical and laboratory signs of HRS were analyzed. Patients were evaluated for clinical and biochemical parameters of blood and urine, blood electrolytes, indicators of the blood coagulation system according to unified methods. The main work is devoted to the determination of the biomarker of renal tubular damage, neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocaine (s-NGAL) as a marker and indicator of HRS severity, careful and detailed analysis, monitoring of levels (s-NGAL) and other bioactive substances as an indicator of treatment efficacy. Introduction of active ultrasound as a replacement for contrast computer tomography to reduce the load on precompromised kidneys. It has been proven that the level of renal tubular damage, neutrophil-gelatinase-associated lipocaine s-NGAL is an early marker of renal damage whose function is to reduce the severity of damage to the proximal tubules of the kidneys, normalize damaged tissue by participating in apoptosis, increase survival of damaged restoration of damaged epithelium, stimulation of differentiation and structural reorganization of renal epithelial cells. The fact that s-NGAL was not significantly reduced in the stage of recovery of diuresis, confirms the presence of patients with blastomatous MF severe and persistent toxic tubulointerstitial disorders. Based on this determination of the biomarker (s-NGAL) in the serum of patients with blastomatous mechanical jaundice and performing in them at primary ultrasound color Doppler mapping and pulsed wave Doppler imaging of the kidneys with the calculation of the resistance index may serve as early signs of damage.
