AIM: To estimate the level of serum lipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and to determine the relationship between Lp(a) in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and micro-vascular complications. METHODS: A cross sectional study was performed that enrolled 144 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus above the age of 25 years attending outpatient Department of Medicine, Madhubani Medical College & Hospital, Madhubani, Bihar. Lp(a) levels were measured quantitatively in venous samples using Turbidimetric Immunoassay in all subjects. Each patient was evaluated for micro vascular complications, namely diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy and neuropathy. The relationship between Lp(a) levels and the micro vascular complications was assessed by univariate analysis. RESULTS: Mean age of cases was 53.93 ± 10.74 years with a male to female ratio of 1.3:1. Mean duration of diabetes was 9.53 ± 7.3 years. Abnormal Lp(a) levels (≥ 30 mg/dL) were observed in 38 (26.4%) diabetic subjects. Seventy-eight (54.16%) cases had diabetic nephropathy and signicantly higher Lp(a) levels were found among these cases [Median 28.2 mg/dL(Interquartile range; IQR 24.4-33.5) vs 19.3 mg/dL(IQR 14.7- 23.5); P< 0.05]. Retinopathy was present among 66 (45.13%) cases and peripheral neuropathy was detected among 54 (37.5%) cases. However, Lp(a) levels were not signicantly different among those with or without retinopathy and neuropathy. Positive correlation was found between higher Lp(a) levels and duration of diabetes (r = 0.165, P< 0.05) but not with HbA1c values (r = – 0.083). CONCLUSION: Abnormal Lp(a) levels were found among 26.4% of diabetic subjects. Patients with diabetic nephropathy had higher Lp(a) levels. No association was found between Lp(a) levels and diabetic retinopathy or neuropathy. Longer duration of diabetes correlated with higher Lp(a) levels.

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.

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 signicant complications and their coexistence needs a relook. To study prevalence of retinopathy and nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes mel Aim: litus. Comparison of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy in Type 2 diabetes mellitus and its correlation of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy with duration of illness and various risk factors that affects development, progression and severity of diabetic retinopathy and nephropathy. 100 diabetic patients were taken up for study for a period of one year meeti Methodology: ng the criteria for the present study. Detailed history was taken from patient and meticulous examination was done of all patients with special emphasis on renal and ophthalmic symptoms. Clinical data and investigation prole was tabulated. Statistical analysis was done. Among 100 patients, 22 had diabetic retinopathy. Among patients with diab Results & Conclusion: etic retinopathy, 68.18% patients had positive family history. Among 100 patients, 32 had diabetic nephropathy, mean FBS was 207 mg%, PPBS was 317.8 mg% and mean HbA was 9.2%. Among patients with diabetic retinopathy, mean FBS was 211 mg%, PPBS was 324.9 1c mg%, HbA was 9.5%. From this study it is found that diabetic nephropathy starts earlier than retinopathy. In this study 1c hypertension was found to accelerate progression into nephropathy and retinopathy.

Issues of the formation and progression of late complications of diabetes mellitus remain interesting and foreground today, especially in cases of type 2 diabetes mellitus (dm) combined with other endocrine diseases. The pathogenetic relation between the mechanisms leading to blood vessels and nerves damage against the background of diabetes mellitus, and, for example, mechanisms of autoimmune thyroid abnormality (ait), is far from being unambiguous, but the very fact of its existence cannot be denied.Purpose: to determine the predominant type of comorbidity (trans-syndromal, trans-nosological or chronological) and the level of comorbidity according to the disease rating scale (cirs) in patients with type 2 diabetes and ait, to study the structure of later complications of diabetes mellitus in this group of patients and to assess the contribution of certain factors to increased risk of complications.Methods. 428 patients were examined in a specialized endocrinology department, and two groups were formed: an observation group — 213 people with diagnosed type 2 diabetes and ait, and a comparison group — 215 people with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. These groups were comparable in age, the duration of diabetes, body mass index, correction of the disease. The analysis included clinical and laboratory parameters, the results of hormones level studies (tsh, free t4, insulin, c-peptide) and antibodies (at-tpo), thyroid ultrasonography, calculation of the insulin resistance index (homa) and the comorbidity index (cirs — cumulative illness rating scale) followed by a correlation-regression analysis of statistical data. The state of the peripheral nervous system was evaluated with the use of electromyography in patients of both groups, and the severity of diabetic neuropathy was evaluated with the use of the neuropathy disability score and vas (visual analogue scale) scales. The state of the vascular system was studied according to the data of ultrasound examination of the vessels of the lower extremities, echocardiography, and ophthalmoscopy.Results. The obtained data made it possible to determine the factors infl uencing the risk of type 2 diabetes complications developement, and to establish that neuropathic complications begin and progress faster in patients with comorbid endocrine pathology, however, there is no such dependence for vascular complications. According to the linear regression equation of the dependence of total complications on the duration of the disease, it was revealed that the development of vascular complications in patients with combined endocrinopathy occurs even more slowly than in patients with diabetes. The contribution of diabetes compensation and identifi ed risk factors to the progression of diabetic complications was less important for patients with endocrinopathies. As for evaluating the contribution of individual parameters, the most signifi cant were the duration of diabetes mellitus, albuminuria, atherosclerosis of the vessels of the lower extremities.Conclusion. In addition to the known risk factors for the development and progression of vascular complications, in patients with overlapping endocrinopathy, the preservation of residual insulin secretion and renal function (chronic kidney disease, proteinuria) were important. the prevalence of “total” Complications in the group of patients with combined endocrine pathology was lower, however, neuropathic complications in the same group were observed more often,т which indicates the primary eff ect of thyroid dysfunction on the structure of the nervous tissue.

BackgroundLipoprotein (a) [Lp (a)] has been well recognized as a risk factor of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between serum Lp (a) and diabetic nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains unknown. We performed a meta-analysis to comprehensively evaluate the above association.MethodsObservational studies aiming to evaluate the independent association between serum Lp (a) and diabetic nephropathy in T2DM patients were identified by systematic search of PubMed and Embase databases. A random-effect model which incorporated the potential intra-study heterogeneity was used for the meta-analysis.ResultsEleven observational studies with 9304 T2DM patients were included. Results showed that compared to those with the lowest Lp (a), patients with the highest Lp (a) level had higher odds of diabetic nephropathy (adjusted odds ratio [OR]: 1.63, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25–2.14, I2 = 54%, P &lt; 0.001). Meta-analysis of studies in which Lp (a) was presented as continuous variables showed consistent result (adjusted OR: 1.13 for 1 mg/dl increment of Lp (a), 95% CI: 1.03–1.24, I2 = 36%, P = 0.008). Subgroup analyses showed that study characteristics such as definitions of diabetic nephropathy and study design did not significantly affect the association (P for subgroup difference all &gt; 0.05).ConclusionsHigher serum Lp (a) in patients with T2DM is independently associated with higher odds of diabetic nephropathy. Large scale prospective cohort studies are needed to validate this finding. Moreover, the potential influence of Lp (a) lowering on renal function in T2DM patients may be further investigated.
