The aim of our one-stage observational study was the detail analysis of structural, functional, endothelial peculiarities of diabetic nephropathy in patients with coexistent arterial hypertension. Methods. Our study involved 96people with arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus (I group), 25 patients with arterial hypertension (II group), 15 practically healthy persons (III group) treated and obtained in Sumy City Clinical Hospital №1. Cardiovascular complications were determined in all patients from I and II groups. The average age of the patients was 62.31 ± 0.2 years. The level of glycosylated hemoglobin (HbAlc) was determined by the biochemical method, albuminuria by immunoassay. The level of endothelin-1 (ET-1) in serum was studied using ELISA. Results. It was found that the level of ET-1 was significantly higher in patients with diabetes compared with only hypertensive patients. In the patients with urine albumin excretion rate category A2 the level of endothelin-1 was significantly higher compared with the category A1 patients and less compared with category A3 patients (11.42 ± 49 vs 25 ± 0.57pg/ml, p = 0.0329 and 11.42 ± 0.49 vs 2.25 ± 1.04pg/ml, p <0.0001, respectively. So, the level of ET-1 increased in proportion to albuminuria. In patients with the albuminuria category A2, the endothelin-1 level was higher than in subjects with the A1 category and lower than in patients with the A3 category. In addition, we identified a moderate direct correlation between the blood level of ET-1 in the patients with diabetes and blood glucose level (r = 0.29;p = 0.004). Conclusion. Finally, it is the confirmation of greater endothelial function disorders for arterial hypertension and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In conclusion, endothelial dysfunction promotes diabetic nephropathy progression.

BackgroundPrevious studies showed altered angiopoietin-like protein-8 (ANGPTL-8) and resistin circulating levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Whether or not the alteration in ANGPTL-8 and resistin level can be a predictive maker for increased diabetic nephropathy risk remains unclear.AimTo Investigate the possible association of ANGPTL-8 and resistin with DN, and whether this association is affected by NAFLD status.MethodsA total of 278 T2DM patients were enrolled. Serum levels of ANGPTL8, resistin, BMI, blood pressure, duration of diabetes, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose (FPG), hypersensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP), lipid profile, liver, and kidney function tests were assessed. The relationship between DN with ANGPTL8 and resistin was analyzed in the unadjusted and multiple-adjusted regression models.ResultsSerum levels of ANGPTL8 and resistin were significantly higher in DN compared with T2DM subjects without DN (respectively; P &lt;0.001), especially in non-NAFLD populations. ANGPTL8 and resistin showed positive correlation with hs-CRP (respectively; P&lt;0.01), and negative correlation with estimated GFR (eGFR) (respectively; P=&lt;0.001) but no significant correlation to HOMA-IR(respectively; P&gt;0.05). Analysis showed ANGPTL8 levels were positively associated with resistin but only in T2DM patients with DN(r=0.1867; P&lt;0.05), and this significant correlation disappeared in T2DM patients without DN. After adjusting for confounding factors, both ANGPTL8(OR=2.095, 95%CI 1.253-3.502 P=0.005) and resistin (OR=2.499, 95%CI 1.484-4.208 P=0.001) were risk factors for DN. Data in non-NAFLD population increased the relationship between ANGPTL8 (OR=2.713, 95% CI 1.494-4.926 P=0.001), resistin (OR=4.248, 95% CI 2.260-7.987 P&lt;0.001)and DN. The area under the curve (AUC) on receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis of the combination of ANGPTL8 and resistin was 0.703, and the specificity was 70.4%. These data were also increased in non-NAFLD population, as the AUC (95%CI) was 0.756, and the specificity was 91.2%.ConclusionThis study highlights a close association between ANGPTL8, resistin and DN, especially in non-NAFLD populations. These results suggest that ANGPTL-8 and resistin may be risk predictors of DN.

Background: Hypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are also at increased risk for diabetes mellitus–specific complications, including nephropathy. Even the smallest degree of albuminuria increases risk for cardiovascular diseases and all-cause death. The common conditions coexisting with type 2 diabetes (e.g., hypertension and dyslipidemia) are clear risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.Methods and materials: The first (I) group consists of 99 obtained patients with type 2 and AH, the second (II) includes 49 practically healthy people. We evaluated such markers of cardiovascular complications as glycated hemoglobin, lipid profile components by biochemical method and albumin excretion rate with the help of enzyme immunoassay.Result: The positive correlation between the level of albumin excretion rate and glycated hemoglobin (r = 0,23, p < 0,001) is confirmed that albuminuria is a main marker of diabetic nephropathy. The positive correlation between albuminuria and low density lipoproteins (r = 0,34, p < 0,001), triglycerides (r = 0,04, p < 0,001) is the definition of the important role of dyslipidemia in diabetic nephropathy.Conclusion: Determination of albumin excretion rate, glycated hemoglobin as markers of nephropathy, lipid profile components is necessary for patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension for prevention cardiovascular complications.Bangladesh Journal of Medical Science Vol.17(2) 2018 p.319-322

The actual problem of internal medicine is the managemen of patients with comorbid pathology. Arterial hypertension (AH) is determined in about quarter of the population in the world. Moreover, the coexistence of AH and type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) connected with the increased risk of cardiovascular complications (CVC) compared with patients with AH. In principle dyslipidemia is the common link between AH and type 2 DM, which need the correction. No doubt that reduction of atherogenic and increase of anti atherogenic lipoproteins is necessary for persons with comorbid pathology. The objective of our study was the assessment of atorvastatin treatment in patients with AH, diabetic nephropathy and type 2 DM. We obtained 96 patients with AH, diabetic nephropathy and type 2 DM (І group), 25 persons with AH (ІІ group), 15 conditionally healthy individuals. Persons had CVC in the past. For patients from the І and ІІ group CVC were defined accordingly (4,97 ± 0,20) years and (4,10 ± 0,05) years ago (P = 0,0291). The duration of AH is (8,1 ± 0,2) years for the І group and (8,90 ± 0,13) years for the ІІ group. The levels of lipid profile spectrum were determined according to the methods of W. T. Friedewald. The results of investigation were analyzed with the help of Microsoft Excel 2016. Correction of lipid profile spectrum is the important part of multipurpose treatment for persons with coexistent pathology. All patients were treated by atorvastatin (10−40 mg/day) during 6 months in a complex therapy. The target levels of general cholesterol during 6 months were presented in 30 persons (31.91 %), low density lipoproteids – in 10 persons (10.64 %), high density lipoproteids – in 26 persons (27.66 %), triglycerides – in 34 persons (36.17 %) among patients with AH, diabetic nephropathy and type 2 DM. In conclusion, it is advisable to prescribe atorvastatin (10–40 mg/day) for correction of dyslipidemia, reduction of proatherogenic orientation, prevention of atherosclerotic process manifestation and cardiovascular complications in patients with AH with diabetic nephropathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) may develop cardiomyopathy independently of such risk factors as arterial hypertension and coronary heart disease. Myocardial dysfunction in diabetes mellitus may vary from subclinical forms of left ventricular dysfunction to heart failure. It was suggested that diastolic left ventricular dysfunction is one of the earliest signs of myocardial injury in diabetes mellitus and plays a key role in the formation of diabetic cardiomyopathy. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of diabetes on the clinical and laboratory status of women with hypertension, obesity, and left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD). Materials and methods. We examined 80 patients aged 40 to 60 years with stage 2, grade II and grade III hypertension, class I–III obesity, grade 1 LVDD and preserved ejection fraction. Depending on the presence or absence of diabetes, the cohort of patients was divided into two groups: patients with diabetes were assigned to group 1 and non-diabetes patients ­­– to group 2. Statistical processing was performed using Statistica for Windows version 6.0. Results. Patients had tendency to increased body mass index (BMI) in the DM group, but without significant differences. The results of the 6-minute walk test showed a tendency to decreased distance in the group of patients with diabetes. There was an increase in leptin levels and a decrease in adiponectin in patients with diabetes without significant differences. Levels of IL-6, glycosylated hemoglobin, and Homeostasis Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) index were significantly higher in the cohort of patients with diabetes (p <0.05). Conclusions. Women aged 40–60 years with LVDD with hypertension, class I–III obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus differ from similar cohorts of patients without diabetes with a tendency to increased BMI levels, leptinemia, and decrease in distance of 6-minute walk test, LV ejection fraction and blood adiponectin level; they have significantly higher blood levels of interleukin-6, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and HOMA-IR; indicators of diastolic function in the group of patients with diabetes tend to worsen the parameters of diastolic filling of the LV even in grade 1 DD.

Background. Diabetes mellitus is a common metabolic disease and the prevalence is increasing rapidly. Thyroid disorders including subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) and low triiodothyronine (T3) syndrome are frequently observed in diabetic patients. We conducted a study to explore thyroid function in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods. We included 103 healthy volunteers, 100 T2DM patients without DN, and 139 with DN. Physical examinations including body mass index and blood pressure and laboratory measurements including renal function, thyroid function, and glycosylated hemoglobin were conducted. Results. Patients with DN had higher thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels and lower free T3 (FT3) levels than those without DN (p < 0.01). The prevalence of SCH and low FT3 syndrome in patients with DN was 10.8% and 20.9%, respectively, higher than that of controls and patients without DN (p < 0.05). Through Pearson correlation or Spearman rank correlation analysis, in patients with DN, there were positive correlations in TSH with serum creatinine (r = 0.363, p = 0.013) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (r = 0.337, p = 0.004), and in FT3 with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with statistical significance (r = 0.560, p < 0.001). Conclusions. High level of TSH and low level of FT3 were observed in T2DM patients with DN. Routine monitoring of thyroid function in patients with DN is necessary, and management of thyroid dysfunction may be a potential therapeutic strategy of DN.

Background: The aim of the study was to compare the hemoglobin levels among normal controls (patients) and patients of TypeII diabetes with HbA1c levels below 7 % & above 7 %.and secondly to identify the undetected cases of anemia in TypeII diabetes. Materials & Methods - 50 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with their glycosylated hemoglobin levels less than 7 %, 50 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with their glycosylated hemoglobin levels more than 7 % attending the Medicine outpatient department of Subharti Medical College and Hospital will be the subjects for the study.50 age and sex matched controls will be selected randomly from Subharti Medical College and Hospital. Informed written consent will be taken from all the subjects. The study will be conducted from January 2016 to January. Result - We studied 50 cases with HbA1C>7(poor control),50 cases with HbA1C 5.6 to7 (good control) and 50 controls with HbA1C ≤5.6, we observed in cases with HbA1C>7 (poorly control) ,the mean HbA1C is 9.9±2 and mean Hb is 9.8±1.3 as compared to cases with HbA1C 5.6 to 7(good control) where mean HbA1C is 6±0.4 and Hb is 13±0.5,this clearly indicates that in cases HbA1C is more Hb levels are low and when HbA1C is less Hb levels are higher. Conclusion - In the present study we found negative correlation between HbA1c & Hb levels. As the value of HbA1c increases, as in cases of HbA1c >7(poor diabetic control), we found low Hb levels as compared to the cases with HbA1c <7(5.6-7) (good control).
