Background and ObjectivesTriglyceride-glucose (TyG) is an emerging vital indicator of insulin resistance and is associated with increased risk of T2DM and cardiovascular events. We aimed to explore the TyG index and contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CI-AKI) in patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent coronary angiology.MethodsThis study enrolled 928 patients with suspected coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiology or percutaneous coronary intervention in Zhongda hospital. Patient data were divided into quartiles according to the TyG index: group 1: TyG ≤ 8.62; group 2: 8.62<TyG ≤ 9.04; group 3: 9.04<TyG ≤ 9.45; and group 4: TyG>9.45. CI-AKI was diagnosed according to the KIDIGO criteria. Demographic data, hematological parameters, coronary angiology data, and medications were all recorded. We calculated the TyG index using the following formula: ln [fasting TG (mg/dL)×FPG (mg/dL)/2].ResultsPatients who developed CI-AKI exhibited significantly higher TyG index levels compared to patients who did not develop CI-AKI. The incidence of CI-AKI sharply increased with increasing TyG. Univariate and multivariate analysis identified TyG as an independent risk factor for CI-AKI. The AUC of the ROC curve was as high as 0.728 when the value of TyG was 8.88. The corresponding sensitivity was as high as 94.9%. Adding the variable TyG to the model for predicting CI-AKI risk further increased the predictive value of the model from 80.4% to 82%.ConclusionsHigh TyG is closely associated with increased incidence of CI-AKI, demonstrating that TyG is an independent risk factor for CI-AKI. TyG has potentially predictive value for CI-AKI and may play a crucial role in risk stratification in clinical practice.

Objective In this study we assess clinicopathologic characteristics, treatment and prognosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) in a large cohort of Chinese patients with lupus nephritis. Methods The clinical, laboratory, renal histopathology, treatment and outcome data were retrospectively collected and compared between lupus nephritis patients with and without AKI. The impact of AKI on renal outcome was evaluated. Results Among 322 patients with renal biopsy-proven lupus nephritis, 66 (20.5%) were identified as AKI. Male predominance was observed in patients with AKI ( p < 0.001). In comparison with the non-AKI group, patients with AKI had significantly higher proportions of serositis ( p < 0.001), neurologic disorder ( p = 0.026), anemia ( p < 0.001), thrombocytopenia ( p = 0.013) and nephrotic syndrome ( p = 0.011), but significant lower serum C3 ( p < 0.001). The Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI) scores, renal pathological activity indices and chronicity indices were significantly higher in the AKI group ( p < 0.001 in all cases). Regarding outcome, the AKI group had a significantly poorer renal outcome compared with non-AKI group ( p < 0.001). In the AKI group, patients with crescentic glomerulonephritis and thrombotic microangiopathy had the worst renal outcome. AKI was an independent risk factor for renal outcome (hazard ratio [HR] = 5.819, 95% confidence interval 2.411–14.044 , p < 0.001). Conclusions AKI is common in lupus nephritis and is an independent risk factor for renal outcome.

Lipid Levels

Abstract Objective Osteoporosis is a systemic skeletal disorder characterizedby reduced bone mass, deteriorated bone structure. Various studies have tried to evaluate the association between lipid level and osteoporosis, but the results were proved to be controversial. The objectives of this study are to assess the correlation between BMD and serum lipid levels, to determine independent variables associated with osteoporosis and osteopenia in men and postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Materials and methods All participants of the study were carried out biochemical analysis of blood and the analysis of the lipid profile that included total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG). Physical examination and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry examination were performed. Multiple linear regression and multivariate logistic regression were used to evaluate associations between serum TC and TG levels and the osteoporosis or osteopenia. Results The level of serum TG was directly correlated with BMD at the lumbar spine in all patients in multiple linear regression models. After adjusting for potential confounding factors, decreased level of serum TG was independent risk factor for osteoporosis(p=0.022) in T2D patients. It also showed that a greater BMI was protective factor for osteoporosis (p=0.019) and lower level of β-CTX was an independent risk factor for osteopenia (p=0.008) and osteoporosis (p=0.001) in T2D patients. Conclusion Among Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes, the decreased level of serum TG might indicate a risk of osteoporosis. Further research is needed to confirm the finding and to clarify the contradictions identified.

Increased Risk

Diabetes is a common risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Coronary heart disease and left ventricular dysfunction are more common in diabetic patients than in non-diabetic patients, and diabetic patients benefit less from revascularisation procedures. This increased risk can only partly be explained by the adverse effects of diabetes on established risk factors; hence, a substantial part of the excess risk must be attributable to direct effects of hyperglycaemia and diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, hyperinsulinaemia, insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia have a number of potential adverse effects, including effects on endothelial function and coagulation. Risk factor modification has been shown to reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes; indeed, diabetic patients appear to benefit more in absolute terms than non-diabetic patients. There is thus a strong case for intensive treatment of risk factors, including insulin resistance and hyperglycaemia, in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Objective — To investigate whether serum lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] is an independent risk factor for abnormal blood pressure in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method — Analyzed data collected from diabetes patients and epidemiological survey from January 1,2020 to May 01,2021, with hypertension as a dependent variable, metabolic index such as glycosylated hemoglobin, serum total cholesterol, serum triglyceride and Lp(a) were independent variables, established logistic regression equation, analyze the influence of their variables on dependent variables. Results — The OR value of Lp(a) is 1.020, 95% confidence intervals (1.006, 1.035), p 0.006; The OR value of age is 1.073, 95% confidence interval (1.028, 1.119); and OR of the remaining parameters were tested no statistically different, p>0.05. Conclusions — The abnormal elevated Lp(a) level in the serum of type 2 diabetic patients may be related to the occurrence of hypertension. For patients with high Lp(a), Monitoring blood pressure may help to better detect and diagnose hypertension. At the same time, it is suggested that reducing serum Lp(a) level may reduce the risk of hypertension.

The Impact

With the growing prevalence of obesity, the burden of type 2 diabetes is increasing. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a very common medical condition that is associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease and mortality. Obesity is a common risk factor for OSA and type 2 diabetes and hence it is not surprising that OSA and type 2 diabetes are interlinked. OSA has been shown to be an independent risk factor for the development of incident pre-diabetes/type 2 diabetes. OSA is also associated with worse glycemic control and vascular disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. However, evidence for the benefits of OSA treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes is still lacking. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of OSA, the relationships between OSA and dysglycemia and the impact of OSA in patients with type 2 diabetes, highlighting recent advances in the field.

Background The relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and several diabetic complications or co-morbidities remains a matter of debate. The study aims to explore the association between SUA levels and the prevalence of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), diabetic retinopathy (DR), diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods A total of 2,809 participants (1,784 males and 1,025 females) were included in this cross-sectional study. Clinical characteristics and the prevalence of each of the four diseases were analyzed based on gender-specific quartiles of SUA levels. The Pearson correlation analysis and linear-regression analysis were used to access the correlation between SUA levels and clinical characteristics. Furthermore, a binary logistic regression analysis was carried out to determine whether SUA was an independent risk factor for each of the four complications. Results SUA levels were positively correlated to BMI, BUN, Scr and TG, but negatively associated with eGFR, HDL, FBG, 2h-PG and HbA1c% for the patients with T2DM. The prevalence of NAFLD and DN, but not DR or DPN, were increased with SUA levels from the first to the fourth quartile. Binary logistic regression further disclosed that SUA was an independent risk factor for NAFLD (ORs Male = 1.002, ∗P = 0.0013; ORs Female = 1.002, ∗P = 0.015) and DN (ORs Male = 1.006, ∗P < 0.001; ORs Female = 1.005, ∗P < 0.001), but not for DR and DPN. After adjustment for the confounders, SUA levels were significantly associated with NAFLD within the 3rd (ORs = 1.829, P = 0.004) and 4th quartile (ORs = 2.064, P = 0.001) for women, but not independently associated with SUA for man. On the other hand, our results revealed increased prevalence of DN for SUA quartile 2 (ORs = 3.643, P = 0.039), quartile 3 (ORs = 3.967, P = 0.024) and quartile 4 (ORs = 9.133, P < 0.001) in men; however, SUA quartiles were significantly associated with DN only for quartile 4 (ORs = 4.083, P = 0.042) in women Conclusion For patients with T2DM, elevated SUA concentration is an independent risk factor for the prevalence of NAFLD and DN after adjustment for other indicators, but not DR or DPN.

Abstract BackgroundThe presence of acute kidney injury (AKI) in pre-eclampsia complicates treatment including; increasing length of hospital stay and a need to access services like dialysis which are largely expensive in resource-limited settings. We aimed to determine incidence and predictors of acute kidney injury among women with severe pre-eclampsia at Mbarara Regional Referral Hospital in southwestern Uganda. MethodsWe carried out a hospital-based prospective cohort study from 16 November 2018 to 18 April 2019, among pregnant women with severe preeclampsia followed up in the hospital. We enrolled 70 mothers with severe pre-eclampsia and eclampsia; we excluded patients with a history of chronic renal disease, chronic hypertension, and gestational hypertension.Data on socio-demographics, laboratory parameters, health system, obstetric and medical factors were collected. Baseline serum creatinine, complete blood count, and CD4 T-cell count were all done at admission (0-hour). Second serum creatinine was done at 48-hours to determine the presence of AKI. AKI was defined as a rise in serum creatinine of 0.3mg/dl or more from the baseline. The proportion of women diagnosed with acute kidney injury among the total number of women with severe pre-eclampsia was reported as incidence proportion. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression was used to establish the association of acute kidney injury and severe pre-eclampsia.ResultsIncidence of acute kidney injury was high (41.4%) among women with severe pre-eclampsia. Antenatal care attendance was protective 0.36 (0.16, 0.80), p<0.013 at bivariate analysis but had no statistical significance at multivariate analysis. Eclampsia was an independent risk factor for acute kidney injury. (aRR 2.74 (1.06, 7.08), P<0. 037.ConclusionThe incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with preeclampsia is high. Eclampsia is an independent risk factor of acute kidney injury.
