Urine Albumin Creatinine Ratio (UACR) merupakan metode untuk mengukur mikroalbuminuria, petanda awal dan paling banyakdigunakan untuk diagnosis nefropati diabetes. N-asetil-beta-d-glukosaminidase (NAG) air kemih adalah enzim lisosom dengan beratmolekul besar sehingga tidak difiltrasi oleh glomerulus. Ekskresi NAG di air kemih sangat mudah terganggu terutama oleh filtrasialbumin. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kenasaban NAG air kemih dengan UACR di pasien DM tipe 2. Penelitian ini merupakanpenelitian analitik dengan rancangan potong lintang terhadap 25 pasien DM tipe 2 yang berobat ke Poliklinik Endokrin Penyakit DalamRSUP Dr. M. Djamil Padang. Penelitian dilakukan mulai bulan Januari 2016–September 2016. Albumin air kemih diukur denganmetode imunoturbidimetri, kreatinin air kemih dengan metode Jaffe dan NAG dengan Enzyme-Linked Immune Sorbent Assay (ELISA).Kenasaban Spearman dilakukan untuk mengetahui hubungan aktivitas NAG air kemih dan UACR. Penelitian ini terdiri dari laki-laki68% dan perempuan 32%. Rerata umur 56,16±7,6 tahun dengan rentang 39–67 tahun. Kadar glukosa, ureum dan kreatinin serumberturut-turut, 148±49 mg/dL, 24±6,2 mg/dL dan 0,9±0,3 mg/dL. Normoalbuminuria sebanyak 80% dan mikroalbuminuria 20%.Median nilai UACR pasien DM tipe 2 adalah 6,02 (16,46) mg/g dengan rentang 1,53–119,41 mg/g dan rerata kadar NAG adalah51,01±31,88 ng/mL dengan rentang 9,45–144,38 ng/mL. Uji kenasaban Spearman menunjukkan kenasaban yang kuat antara aktivitasNAG air kemih dengan UACR dengan r=0,614 dan p<0,05. Terdapat kenasaban yang kuat antara aktivitas NAG air kemih denganUACR di pasien DM tipe 2.

Background: To establish association between urine albumin creatinine ratio and ankle brachial index or peripheral arterial disease in type 2 diabetes patients.Methods: Total 74 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus of >50 years of age subjected to calculation of urine albumin creatinine ratio and  ankle brachial index was calculated using doppler sonography and estimation of peripheral arterial diseases was done. The data obtained subjected to analysis.Results: In group with ABI <0.9 suggestive of PAD, mean age of the patient was 62.32±5.8 years, mean BMI was 26.11±2.48kg/m2, mean duration of diabetes was 11.19±41 years, 7 (18.92%) were smokers, 15 (40.54%) were insulin users, 27 (72.97%) were hypertensive, mean SBP was 142.49±13.46mmHg, mean DBP was 84±6.42mmHg, mean serum cholesterol was 221.35±17.10mg/dl, mean serum triglyceride was 242.81 ± 17.10mg/dl, mean serum HDL was 44.03±5.77mg/dl, mean serum LDL was 116.89±28.77mg/dl, mean urine ACR was 294.62±314.90mg/gm, prevalence of normoalbuminuria, microlbuminuria and macroalbuminuria was 12 (32.43%), 21 (56.76%) and 4 (10.81%)  respectively. The statistical significant difference was found in age, duration of diabetes, number of patients on insulin therapy, systolic BP, serum cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL, HDL, urine ACR and distribution of albuminuria.Conclusions: we conclude that statistical significant relationship exist between urine ACR and PAD. Hence urinary ACR can be considered as surrogate marker for early prediction of PAD in elderly patients with type 2diabetes mellitus eventually leading to aggressive intervention for prevention and management.

Diabetes Mellitus is a rapidly increasing problem which is contributing tochronic illnesses like Cerebrovascular, Cardiovascular, Diabetic Retinopathy and End StageKidney Disease. These dreaded complications can be prevented if treated early. In patientswith diabetes mellitus type 2, microalbuminuria is an independent and strong risk factor forcardiovascular mortality & morbidity and diabetic nephropathy. If diagnosed early, diabeticnephropathy can be treated at this stage. Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEInhibitors) and Angiotensin Receptor Blockers (ARBs) are effective in prevention and treatmentof microalbuminuria. Material & Methods: Study Design: randomized controlled trial. Setting:medical department, allied hospital, Faisalabad. Duration of study: Feb 2013 to July 2013.Sample size: 60 (30 in each group). Sampling technique: Non-probability consecutivesampling. Results: 60 patients were included in the study. 28(46.7%) were males and 32(53.3%)were females. Mean age of study population was 50.15±7.27 years. Albumin creatinine ratio(mcg/mg) at start of study was 193±67.5 in Losartan potassium group and 209.5±72.00 inlisinopril group (independent sample t-test p value=0.302). Albumin creatinine ratio (mcg/mg) at 12 weeks of study was 36.33±54.68 in Losartan potassium group and 72±83.42 inlisinopril group (independent sample t-test p value = 0.056). Paired sample t test applied toboth treatment groups and p value was found to be 0.0001 which is highly significant for bothgroups and shows that both drugs are effective in reducing microalbuminuria in both groups.Microalbuminuria was reduced significantly in 26 patients (86.7%) in Losartan potassiumgroup and 20 patients (66.7%) in lisinopril group (p-value=0.067). Conclusion: It has beenconcluded from this study that lisinopril and Losartan potassium, both significantly reducemicroalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus and there is no statistically significant difference inefficacy of these two drugs in reducing microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) insidiously affects the myocardium with subsequent cardiomyopathy, it also pathologically involves the microvascular bed of the kidney reflected by albuminuria. This study aimed to investigate the relation between albuminuria and subclinical left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction in asymptomatic normotensive patients with T2DM assessed by two-dimensional (2D) speckle tracking echocardiography.Methods and results Sixty normotensive patients with T2DM, within 5 years of initial diagnosis, receiving conventional oral antidiabetic medications were included and subdivided into 2 subgroups, each including thirty patients according to the presence of albuminuria, together with thirty healthy control subjects all underwent full echocardiographic examination including left ventricular (LV) regional and global longitudinal strain (GLS) measurements. Laboratory tests including serum creatinine, glycated hemoglobin (HbA1C) and albumin creatinine ratio (ACR) were withdrawn for the three groups. There was a significant reduction in average peak systolic LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) in patients with T2DM when compared to control group (-16.18 ± 2.78% versus -18.13 ± 2.86%, P<0.001), however there was no significant difference in average peak systolic LV GLS between both diabetic subgroups (-15.57 ± 2.77% in subgroup with albuminuria versus -16.79 ± 2.70% in subgroup without albuminuria, p=0.077). Moreover, there was a significant correlation between ACR and reduction of GLS in patients with T2DM and albuminuria (r =0.38, P=0.003). However, this correlation was absent in patients with T2DM without albuminuria (r=0.107, P=0.573). Conclusion: Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have subclinical LV systolic dysfunction despite normal ejection fraction through reduction of average peak systolic LV GLS that is correlated with albumin creatinine ratio in patients with T2DM and albuminuria.

Background and objectivesImarikiren is a novel, potent, and selective direct renin inhibitor that has shown high oral availability during clinical development for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. We evaluated the efficacy and safety of imarikiren in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis was a randomized, multicenter, placebo-controlled, double-blind, phase 2, dose-finding trial. A total of 415 patients were randomized to imarikiren 5, 20, 40, or 80 mg; placebo; or candesartan cilexetil 8 mg treatment for 12 weeks. The primary end point was change in log-transformed urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of treatment analyzed using analysis of covariance and a fixed sequence testing procedure. Secondary efficacy end points included urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio at each assessment point and remission and progression rates. Exploratory efficacy end points included eGFR and sitting BP before dosing.ResultsChanges in the urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio from baseline to the end of treatment were 16% (placebo), −16% (imarikiren 5 mg), −27% (imarikiren 20 mg), −38% (imarikiren 40 mg), −39% (imarikiren 80 mg), and −31% (candesartan cilexetil 8 mg). Urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio reductions from baseline were statistically significant in all imarikiren groups versus placebo (P<0.001 each) as well as for candesartan cilexetil 8 mg versus placebo (P<0.001). Remission rates (urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio <30 mg/g creatinine and decreased ≥30% from baseline) were higher in all imarikiren groups versus the placebo group. Incidence of adverse events was higher in the imarikiren 80-mg group (52%) versus placebo (42%) and candesartan cilexetil (43%) groups. Incidence of adverse events for the other imarikiren groups ranged from 33% to 42%. Adverse events were mild or moderate in severity. All imarikiren doses were well tolerated.ConclusionsImarikiren resulted in a dose-dependent improvement in albuminuria compared with placebo, and it was well tolerated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria.
