Background: Microvascular complications of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM), (retinopathy and nephropathy) have a similar etiopathogenetic mechanism besides genetic predisposition. Even though these two complications frequently co-exist, their frequency varies. The association of these two significant complications and their co-existence needs a relook.Methods: Four hundred patients suffering from type 2 DM visiting a tertiary care hospital in Western India were included in this cross-sectional study. Of these, 200 patients were of Diabetic Nephropathy (DN) and 200 were without DN. The presence of albuminuria (urine albumin-creatinine ratio) was used to detect diabetic nephropathy. Fundoscopy was performed in all patients to look for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR).Results: In this study, 77.5% patients with DN had retinopathy, while in patients without DN, only 52% patients had retinopathy. This was a statistically significant finding. (p value <0.001). The distribution of types of retinopathy in patients with DN was 63.0% Non-Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (NPDR), 12.5% Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy (PDR) and 2% Clinically Significant Macular Edema (CSME). While in those without DN, 50.5% had NPDR, 1.5% had PDR and none had macular edema.Conclusions: Microalbuminuria, which has been used so far to diagnose DN, may be considered as a reliable predicter of diabetic retinopathy in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. This simple marker can help screen all patients with Diabetes for nephropathy and retinopathy both and should take place at the first visit/ contact of the healthcare personnel. This can help prevent microvascular complications early and help in goal directed therapy.

<b><i>Methodology:</i></b> Biochemically confirmed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients (<i>n</i> = 1,114) were recruited from the outpatient department of 2 tertiary care hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Face-to-face interview was conducted using a semi-structured questionnaire containing sociodemographic parameters and relevant information about depression and diabetes. Biochemical test results and treatment-related information were taken from patients’ records. The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) was used to screen all patients for psychiatric manifestation. Those diagnosed by HADS were subsequently reassessed using structured clinical interview for DSM-5 Disorders – Clinician Version. T2DM diagnosed at age &#x3c;40 years were considered as early onset T2DM. Association between age of onset category and depression was assessed using multivariable mixed-effect logistic regression adjusting for random variation of the area of residence and plausible confounders. <b><i>Results:</i></b> Around a third of the participants (32.5%) were diagnosed with T2DM before the age of 40 years. Early onset T2DM patients were found to have 57% increase in the risk of developing depression (OR 1.57; 95% CI 1.13–2.28; <i>p</i> = 0.011) in comparison to those with usual onset T2DM (≥40 years). Among other factors a positive family history for diabetes (OR 1.33; 95% CI 1.03–1.78; <i>p</i> = 0.038), poor glycemic control (OR 1.31; 95% CI 1.03–1.68; <i>p</i> = 0.028), presence of 1, or more diabetic complications (OR 1.37; 95% CI 1.03–1.78; <i>p</i> = 0.011) also showed increased risk of depression. <b><i>Conclusion:</i></b> Early onset T2DM patients are at greater risk of developing depression. The finding is likely to help in setting preventive strategies aiming to reduce the presence of concomitant depression symptoms among diabetes.

BACKGROUND Type 2 diabetes mellitus is common in the Indian population and awareness regarding the disease and its complications is low among the patients with diabetes. There is lack of studies regarding awareness of complications of diabetes among type 2 diabetic patients. The purpose of this study was to assess the awareness of diabetic complications among type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS This is an institutional based observational study. The sample comprised of 150 adult patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who underwent treatment in the Department of Medicine, Medical College Kottayam and the patient’s age ranged from 18 - 77 years. RESULTS Majority of patients were in the age group 38 to 57 and the sample comprised of 56 % males and 44 % female patients. Out of 150 patients involved in the study, 120 patients (80 %) were aware of the complications of diabetes mellitus. Among the male patients, 70 (83.33 %) and among females, 50 (75.75 %) were aware of the complications in diabetes. In the study sample, 92 (61.33 %) were aware of the foot problems, 120 patients (80 %) were aware of renal complications, 91 patients were aware regarding eye problems of diabetes, 38 (25.33 %) regarding development of hypertension, 62 (41.33 %) regarding heart attack, 42 (28 %) patients were aware regarding development of stroke and 78 patients (52 %) had awareness regarding occurrence of recurrent infections. CONCLUSIONS Awareness regarding diabetes and its complications is fairly good among the diabetic patients in Kerala. Awareness regarding all complications of diabetes was higher among males than females. Providing awareness to type 2 diabetic patients by various educational programs may be of further help to prevent complications and to decrease the mortality and morbidity in type 2 diabetes patients.

BACKGROUND Increased levels of urinary biomarkers can be detected in type 2 diabetic patients before the onset of significant albuminuria and may be used as an early marker of renal injury in diabetic nephropathy (DN) which would play a significant role for the effective management and treatment approaches in diabetic care. We wanted to evaluate cystatin C and microalbumin as effective early biomarkers in assessing nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in this study. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted among 180 subjects grouped into healthy controls, clinically proven T2DM without nephropathy and type 2 DM with nephropathy comprising 60 participants in each group. Fasting and postprandial blood samples and urine samples were collected and analysed by standard methods. eGFR was calculated using CKD-EPI 2012 equation. IBM - SPSS version 20 was used for statistical analysis. RESULTS Diabetic nephropathy patients had significantly elevated serum cystatin C and microalbumin (2.43 ± 0.59, 700.5 ± 591.8 mg / L, respectively), compared to T2DM (0.98 ± 0.26, 63.7 ± 102.9 mg / L, respectively), and the control study subjects (0.81 ± 0.16, 11.15 ± 8.9 mg / L, respectively). Serum cystatin C showed AUC of 0.994 (95 % CI, 0.986 - 1.00) whereas microalbumin showed 0.944 (95 % CI, 0.907 - 0.981). Serum cystatin C showed a sensitivity of 96.7 % and a specificity of 91.7 % at a cutoff point of 1.34 mg / L whereas at a cut-off point of 138.5 mg / L for microalbumin, the sensitivity and specificity were 90 % and 83.3 % respectively. CONCLUSIONS Serum cystatin C and microalbumin both could be considered as markers for early detection of nephropathy in T2DM patients. The more prominent rise in serum cystatin C values provide an earlier diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy among T2DM patients.

Endothelial Growth Factor

Vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) is an important regulator of angiogenesis and has been investigated as a candidate gene in a number of conditions, including diabetes and its microvascular complications (e.g., retinopathy and nephropathy). Several VEGF-related polymorphisms have been shown to contribute to nearly half of the variability in circulating VEGF levels in healthy individuals. Our aim was to assess the association between VEGF-related rs10738760 and rs6921438 polymorphisms and proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR) in Slovenian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We also investigated the effect of these polymorphisms on VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) expression in fibrovascular membranes (FVMs) from patients with PDR. This case-control study enrolled 505 unrelated patients with T2DM: 143 diabetic patients with PDR as a study group, and 362 patients with T2DM of >10 years duration and with no clinical signs of PDR as a control group. Patient clinical and laboratory data were obtained from their medical records. rs10738760 and rs6921438 polymorphisms were genotyped using TaqMan SNP Genotyping assay. VEGFR-2 expression was assessed by immunohistochemistry in 20 FVMs from patients with PDR, and numerical areal density of VEGFR-2-positive cells was calculated. The occurrence of PDR was 1.7 times higher in diabetic patients carrying GA genotype of rs6921438 compared to patients with GG genotype, with a borderline statistical significance (OR = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.00 – 2.86, p = 0.05). In addition, A allele of rs6921438 was associated with increased VEGFR-2 expression in FVMs from PDR patients. However, we observed no association between AA genotype of rs6921438 nor between rs10738760 variants and PDR, indicating that the two polymorphisms are not genetic risk factors for PDR.

<p>The present study was aimed to evaluate the association of serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D and parathormone in 46 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic retinopathy [non-proliferative, (n=27); proliferative (n=19)]. Twenty one diabetic patients without retinopathy were taken as control. Serum 25-hydroxy vitamin D and intact parathyroid hormone were measured by chemiluminescence microparticle immunoassay. Concentration of 25-hydroxy vitamin D differed significantly among groups (p=0.018) and it was significantly lower in proliferative diabetic retinopathy than no diabetic retinopathy (p=0.003). Logistic regression analysis revealed that vitamin D deficiency [25-hydroxy vitamin D &lt;20 ng/mL] was indepen-dently associated with development of diabetic retinopathy (p=0.007, OR 20.90, 95%CI 2.33-187.23). In conclusion, vitamin D deficiency is associated with diabetic retinopathy complicating type 2 diabetes mellitus.</p>

Abstract Background and Aims The aim of the study is to evaluate kidney biopsy findings other than renal diabetic changes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Method Diabetic patients with kidney biopsy between January 2003 and January 2020 were enrolled to the study. Kidney biopsy was performed to patients with suspicion of kidney disease other than diabetic nephropathy. The suspicious cases were patients without diabetic retinopathy, diabetes mellitus history less than 5 years, creatinine increase faster than expected course and hematuria. Demographic features, biopsy finding were all noted. Results Totally, 135 patients’ data were evaluated in which 54.1% was male. Demographic characteristics of the patients and laboratory data are given in Table 1. Mean age was 55.4±11 years and mean diabetes duration was 6.9±6.3 years. Mean duration of diabetes was 5.3±5.5 years in patients with nondiabetic nephropathy whereas it was 10.2±6.4 and 11.2±7.6 years in patients with diabetic and/or nondiabetic pathologies respectively (p&lt;0.05). Serum creatinine and proteinuria level were lower, and hemoglobin levels were higher in patients with nondiabetic nephropathy (p &lt;0.05).C3 was low in 3.7% of patients. ANA and ANCA positivity were seen in 8.1% and 3.7% of the patients, respectively. Patients without diabetic retinopathy was 81.7% of the total cohort. Biopsy indications were renal insufficiency (8.9%), nephrotic syndrome (24.4%), non-nephrotic proteinuria (16.4%), renal insufficiency with nephrotic range proteinuria (25.9%), renal insufficiency with non-nephrotic proteinuria (24.4%). Mean glomeruli number was 19.3±11.1. Ten patients had macroscopic hematuria in which all resolved with conservative care. Early diabetic changes, diffuse and/or nodular glomerulosclerosis were present in 3.1% and 96.9% of diabetic patients, respectively. Biopsies with diabetic changes with other nondiabetic pathologies were 3% of the biopsies. Isolated nondiabetic nephropathy was found in 23.7% of patients. Pathologic findings other then diabetic changes were as follows in patients without diabetic nephropathy: focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) 49.5%, membranous glomerulonephritis 14,1%, Ig A nephropathy 12,1%, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis 5 %, crescentic glomerulonephritis 4,1%, acute tubular necrosis 4,1%, amyloidosis 3%, tubulointerstitial damage 2%, others 6,1%. Conclusion Biopsy in diabetic patients is beneficial to show both diabetic nephropathy and other kidney pathologies. Kidney biopsy may be performed if there is suspicion of other glomerular pathologies. Focal segmental sclerosis was the most common pathology in our patients without diabetic nephropathy

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic, non communicable, multisystem disease that has reached epidemic proportions. Chronic exposure to hyperglycaemia affects the microvasculature, eventually leading to diabetic nephropathy, retinopathy and neuropathy with high impact on the quality of life and overall life expectancy. Sexual dysfunction is an often-overlooked microvascular complication of T2DM, with a complex pathogenesis originating from endothelial dysfunction. Objective: The purpose of this review is to present current definitions, epidemiological data and risk factors for diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy and sexual dysfunction. We also describe the clinical and laboratory evaluation that is mandatory for the diagnosis of these conditions. Method: A comprehensive review of the literature was performed to identify data from clinical studies for the prevalence, risk factors and diagnostic methods of microvascular complications of T2DM. Results: Diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy affect approximately 25% of patients with T2DM; diabetic neuropathy is encountered in almost 50% of the diabetic population, while the prevalence of erectile dysfunction ranges from 35-90% in diabetic men. The duration of T2DM along with glycemic, blood pressure and lipid control are common risk factors for the development of these complications. Criteria for the diagnosis of these conditions are well established, but exclusion of other causes is mandatory. Conclusion: Early detection of microvascular complications associated with T2DM is important, as early intervention leads to better outcomes. However, this requires awareness of their definition, prevalence and diagnostic modalities.
