The article presents a retrospective analysis of case histories of 392 children and adolescents with 1 type diabetes from 2011 to 2018. The analysis found that 60 children and adolescents suffer from diabetic nephropathy (which composes 15%). It was revealed that mostly diabetic nephropathy occurs in boys, as well as disease duration of type 1 diabetes at the time of diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy was 5–10 years.

The objective of this study was to identify circulating miRNAs affected by disease duration in newly diagnosed children with type 1 diabetes. Forty children and adolescents from The Danish Remission Phase Cohort were followed with blood samples drawn at 1, 3, 6, 12 and 60 months after diagnosis. Pancreatic autoantibodies were measured at each visit. Cytokines were measured only the first year. miRNA expression profiling was performed by RT-qPCR and quantified for 179 human plasma miRNAs. The effect of disease duration was analyzed by mixed models for repeated measurements, adjusted for sex and age. Eight miRNAs (hsa-miR-10b-5p, hsa-miR-17-5p, hsa-miR-30e-5p, hsa-miR-93-5p, hsa-miR-99a-5p, hsa-miR-125b-5p, hsa-miR-423-3p and hsa-miR-497-5p) were found to significantly change expression (adjusted p-value < 0.05) with disease progression. Three pancreatic autoantibodies ICA, IA-2A, GADA65 and 4 cytokines IL-4, IL-10, IL-21, IL-22 were associated with the miRNAs at different time points. Pathway analysis revealed association with various immune-mediated signaling pathways. Eight miRNAs, involved in immunological pathways changed expression levels during the first five years after diagnosis in children with type 1 diabetes, and were associated with variations in cytokine and pancreatic antibodies, suggesting a possible effect on the immunological processes in the early phase of the disease.

Aim. To evaluate the diagnostic and prognostic value of hemodynamic characteristics and endothelial function (EF), viz. endothelium-dependent vasodilation (EDVD) and vasoconstriction (EDVC), during development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Materials and methods. A total of 155 children and adolescents aged 9-17 years (residents of Volgograd) with type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) from 1 to 14 years in duration were examined at the Endocrinological Department of the Regional Childrens Clinical Hospital. The patients were divided into 3 groups depending on DM1 duration. EF and arteriolar tone (AT) were determined by the rheovasographic method. AT was calculated from vascular distension by a pulse wave based on tetrapolar rheovasography of the shoulder and its first derivative. Rheograms were registered using the Valenta software-hardware system. EF was evaluated in a reactive (working) hyperemia test with occlusion of blood vessels in the arm for 4 min followed by decompression; these procedures resulted in an abrupt acceleration of blood flow and endothelium response to shear stress by EDVD. EDVC was determined by occlusion of blood flow in the wrist area that caused its steady decline in the brachial artery and a decrease of its diameter suggesting enhanced vascular tone. Rheovasography was performed during occlusion. Results. Children with DM1 showed enhanced EDVC and impaired EDVD diagnosed before manifestation of microalbuminurea (MAU) characteristic of early DM1. Conclusion. Changes of EF determined from AT, EDVD and EDVC in children with DM1 before manifestation of microalbuminurea make it possible to identify patients at risk of vascular complications.

Objective: We hypothesized that diabetic kidney disease (DKD) begins early, before albuminuria occurs. We therefore aimed to assess potential early urinary biomarkers of (DKD) in normoalbuminuric and normotensive children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) to evaluate the relationship between these markers and clinical and laboratory risk factors for DKD. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 75 children and adolescents with T1D (62% females, mean age 13.9 ± 3.2 years) with normoalbuminuria [an albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) below 30 mg/g creatinine]. Fifty-five age- and sex-matched healthy children and adolescents served as controls. For the assessment of early DKD, urinary levels of angiotensinogen (AGT), transferrin, nephrin, vascular endothelial growth factor-A (VEGF-A), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) were measured in adequately collected 24-h urine samples using enzyme-linked immunoassays. Results: The mean disease duration was 7.3± 3.2 (ranged 2.1 - 15.7) years and the mean HbA1c level was 8.8±1.4%. The median levels of urine VEGF-A/Cr, AGT/Cr, and Transferrin/Cr were significantly higher in normoalbuminuric patients with T1D, compared with those of controls (p<0.001, p=0.02, and p=0.001, respectively), but there was no difference in nephrin/Cr and KIM-1/Cr between the two groups. Although, none of the patients had albuminuria, the median level of urine ACR was significantly higher in the patient group than the control group (p=0.003). The ACR was positively correlated with glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Urinary transferrin/Cr, AGT/Cr, and VEGF-A/Cr were significantly correlated with ACR, but not with either GFR or diabetic risk factors including HbA1c or disease duration. Conclusion: Normoalbuminuric and normotensive children and adolescents with T1D have elevated urinary VEGF, AGT and transferrin levels, which may indicate the development of DKD before albuminuria occurs.
