Background: Hyperglycemia is an important risk factor for the development of diabetic nephropathy. In the initial stages ie micro albuminuria the DKD is clinically detectable and can even be reversed. Hence early screening of diabetic patients is important. Hence the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of nephropathy in a cross section of diabetic patients. Objectives: The Aim of our study was to evaluate the prevalence of nephropathy in recently detected diabetic patients by evaluating microalbuminuria, serum creatinine and creatinine clearance. Methods: A total of 120 patients above 18 years were included in the study and were divided into three groups according to age and were further divided into three groups as per the duration of diseases Patients were again divided into two groups according to the gender. The GFR was calculated as per the MDRD formula and the patients were divided further as per the stage of CKD. Serum Creatinine levels were calculated and the variables associated with CKD were adjusted by Logistic Regression. Results: Our results suggests that 41.25% of subjects were in mild to severe nephropathy out of which 16.25 % were within the three years of diagnosis, thus suggesting the role of early and routine investigation in diabetic patients. Conclusion: Hence the role of life style is clearly emphasized by our results. Although when the variables were adjusted with the logistic regression the occupation was not that significant. Keywords: Albuminuria, Diabetes mellitus (DM), Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD), Diabetic nephropathy (DN), Serum Creatinine.

Diabetes mellitus is one of the systemic diseases affecting the kidneys. Diabetic nephropathy is a serious microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus. It is the most important cause of death in type I diabetic patients, of whom 30%-40% eventually develop end-stage renal failure and 40% of type II diabetics are at risk of developing diabetic nephropathy. So, diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is paramount for the survivability of the diabetic patients not only because of the consequences of renal progression but also because of the strong association with the risk of developing cardiovascular disease. A total number of 53 subjects were enrolled in this present cross sectional study in the department of Radiology and Imaging, Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) in collaboration of Nephrology and Medicine of the same institution during two years (2011-13) aim to evaluate the diagnostic usefulness of renal resistive index (RI) by duplex Doppler ultrasonography for detection of renal dysfunction in diabetic patients. Clinically diagnosed diabetic patients having diabetic nephropathy referred to the department of Radiology and Imaging in BSMMU for ultrasonography of Kidneys, Ureters and Bladder (KUB) region or whole abdomen were selected as sample. Biochemical reports (Serum creatinine and Urinary albumin) and the RI value of intrarenal artery were correlated and analyzed. Only those patients biochemically were diagnosed as having diabetic nephropathy was included. Those with incomplete data, hydro nephrosis and renal calculus were excluded. Both the kidneys were visualized by commercially available real time scanner (GE Voluson) equipped with a curvilinear transducer operating at 3.5 MHz First Gray scale ultrasonography was done followed by Color Doppler of intra renal artery and then RI was measured. Majority (45.3%) patients were in 6th decade with the mean age was of 52.66±7.4 years and ranging from 38 to 65 years in patients. Male was found to be 54.7% of diabetic patients with male to female ratio 1.2:1. Resistive index of (? 0.7) was found in 73.6% patients with diabetes with the mean resistive index of 0.71±0.04. Positive correction between resistive index with serum creatinine (r=0.581, p<0.01) and albuminuria (r=0.725, p<0.01) were observed. It can be concluded that Resistive Index measured by duplex Doppler ultrasonography is useful diagnostic modality for detection of renal dysfunction in diabetic nephropathy patients. Resistive Index has value in identifying diabetic patients who are developing nephropathy and can be used as an additional diagnostic tool. Also it is well correlated with Serum Creatinine and Albuminuria which are the biochemical parameters to diagnose diabetic nephropathy.

THE AIM:to assess excretion value of podocytes injury biomarkers in urine and to clarify their significance for early diabetic nephropathy (DN) diagnostics in diabetes mellitus (DM) patients with different severity of albuminuria (AU)/proteinuria(PU).PATIENTS AND METHODS.74 DM pts were studied, including 30 with type1 DM (T1DM) and 44 pts with type2 DM (T2DM). They were divided into three groups: 41 pts with AU <30 mg/gCr (A1), 13 pts with AU 30-300 mg/gCr (A2), 20 pts with PU (A3). CKD S1 was revealed in 41pts, CKD S2 – in 25 pts, CKD S3 – in 8 pts. Arterial hypertension was observed in 52 pts of 74(70%), mainly in T2DM. 10 healthy subjects were studied as control. Urinary levels of nephrin and podocin (an important slit diaphragm proteins) were measured by ELISA.RESULTS.Nephrinuria (NU) >5,84ng/ml/g, which not detecting in controls, was revealed in 63% of A1 pts, in 77% – in A2, in 80% – in A3. Podocinuria (PdU)>1,73ng/ml/g was revealed in 78% of A1 pts, in 54% of A2 and in 83% – A3. NU in pts with PU was significantly higher than in AU<30 mg/g. PDU in groups with different AU/PU was equally high and has no differ between DM types. Direct correlation was obtained between NU and AU (R=0,947 p<0,05). NU and PdU in T1DM correlated directly with serum creatinine (R=0,489 p<0,05 and R=0,468 p<0,05) and indirectly with GFR (R=-0,461 p<0,05 and R=-0,36 р<0,05). In DM duration less than 5 years NU directly correlated with НbА1с level, in T2DM – indirectly with systolic blood pressure.CONCLUSON. Nephrin and podocin levels can be useful for early diagnostics and monitoring of DN.

Background: India is one of the epicentres of the global diabetes mellitus pandemic. Rapid socioeconomic development and demographic changes, along with increased susceptibility for Indian individuals, have led to the explosive increase in the prevalence of diabetes mellitus in India over the past four decades. Diabetic Nephropathy is a common consequence of long-standing diabetes mellitus. The development of diabetic nephropathy has a dramatic increase on the morbidity and mortality of patients with diabetes. Objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of microalbuminuria in patients with diabetes mellitus patients.  Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted on T 2 diabetes mellitus patients visiting medicine OPD of R L Jalappa hospital constituent hospital of Sri Deveraj Urs Medical College, Tamaka, Kolar from May 2016 to July 2016. A total of 60 type-2 diabetes patients were enrolled in the study.Results: Average duration of diabetes among study group was 8 years and most of the patients were between 6-10 years. In type 2DM patients, microalbuminuria and glycemic control have shown a significant linear correlation with duration of diabetes (p<0.05). Also, micro albuminuria has a significant correlation with increase in level of glycosylated haemoglobin.  Conclusions: The prevalence of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients was found to be high and being a developing country; there is a dire need that microalbuminuria and HbA1c testing should be done in both, newly diagnosed as well as already diagnosed type 2DM patients as an early marker of renal risk factor.

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Renal tubular lysosomal enzyme activities like N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase (NAG) have been shown to increase in patients developing DN. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of NAG, as a preventional biomarker in the early stages of DN in patients with diabetes mellitus. Two impartial reviewers conducted a complete PubMed search until July 2021. A 2 × 2 contingency table was created for each trial and sensitivity and specificity were estimated using a bivariate random effects model. To pool data and estimate the area under the curve (AUC), the hierarchical summary ROC (hsROC) approach was utilized. Deek’s test was used to estimate publication bias. The meta-analysis included 21 studies that evaluated 2783 patients with T1DM and T2DM, as well as 673 healthy individuals. The AUC of urinary NAG (uNAG) ranged from 0.69 (95% CI: 0.65–0.73) to 0.89 (95% CI: 0.86–0.92). According to the results, NAG in urine can be considered as a potential and effective biomarker for predicting DN in diabetic patients (T1DM, T2DM).

In the past two decades the number of diabetic patients has increased dramatically. According to the data of the International Diabetes Federation published in 2012, more than 371 million people suffer from diabetes mellitus, which is responsible for the death of 4.8 million people yearly. Diabetic nephropathy is the most frequent cause of terminal renal failure. The first stage of its development is microalbuminuria. Without an efficient treatment 20–40% of the patients with microalbuminuria suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus develop chronic renal failure, but only 20% of them become uremic because most of them die beforehand mainly due to cardiovascular disease. The renin-angiotensin-system, which is one of the most important elements of the regulation of blood pressure and water-salt metabolism, plays an important role in the development of diabetic nephropathy. Drugs affecting the function of this system are of great significance in the treatment of hypertension. The author rewiews the results of several important studies and animal experiments to demonstrate the role of ramipril in the therapy of diabetic nephropathy. The author concludes that ramipril is one of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors with the highest number of evidence based beneficial results. Apart from its blood pressure decreasing effect, ramipril protects target organs and it proved to be effective in the treatment of diabetic nephropathy according to most international multicenter clinical trials.

Background Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is one of the most common health problem characterizd by hyperglycemia. Type II Diabetes Mellitus is the most common one. Diabetic nephropathy is the most common clinical condition arises with in these patients which progressively leads to impairment in kidney’s function. Measurement of microalbumin in urine is the earliest dectactable stage of diabetic kidney disease.Material and Methods The total of 200 diabetic patients (112 males and 88 females) were enrolled and biochemical estimations including blood glucose level, serum creatinine, blood urea, urine albumin was conducted.Results Prevalance of microalbuminuria was 26 % in type II diabetic patients.Renal functions parameters like blood urea and serum ceratinine were higher in patients with positive microalbuminuria.60 % of diabetic patients are normoalbuminrics and rests 14% are proteinurics.Conclusion Various factors like increasing age, duration of diabetics, blood sugar level,blood urea, serum creatinine are the causes for microalbuminuria and proteinuria. Therefore, to rule out the early screening of diabetic kidney disease, DM patients should get routinely checked up with blood sugar level as well as renal profile test like serum creatinine, blood urea and albumin level in urine.Journal of Nobel Medical College Vol.5(2) 2016; 1-4

Diabetic nephropathy is one of the most frequent and unfavorable complications of pregnancy in terms of prognosis in patients with diabetes mellitus. The combination of pregnancy and uncompensated diabetes with such complications as diabetic nephropathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic neuropathy, leads to overproduction of pro-inflammatory cytokines, thromboses and ischemic necroses of the fetoplacental tissues, and low blood level of immunosuppressive cytokines increases the severity of the disease. This mechanism may be one of the reasons of the spontaneous abortion and pregnancy loss in early pregnancy term in women with diabetes. For a long time the leading role in diabetic nephropathy formation was acknowledged for hyperglycemia, dyslipidemia, oxidative stress, and arterial and renal intraglomerular hypertension. Diabetic nephropathy was recognized as non-immune and non-inflammatory process. Currently diabetic nephropathy is considered as a series of inflammatory reactions involving inflammatory cytokines and chemokines, consisting in the migration of monocytes or macrophages to the kidneys and glomerular and interstitial fibrosis development. Recent studies prove the role of immune-inflammatory reactions in diabetic kidney damage development and confirm an imbalance of the collagen exchange regulating factors, even at the stage of reversible renal dysfunction - microalbuminuria. The close relationship found between hyperglycemia, overproduction of growth factors and nephrosclerosis development in diabetes mellitus. The detection of pro-inflammatory cytokines and fibrogenic growth factors in the urine of patients with diabetes, especially in pregnant women with diabetes, can be used to prompt diagnosis and evaluation of processes occurring in the kidneys, to study the degree of sclerosis, and as a consequence, to predict kidney functional disorders development.
