Abstract:

Objective To analyze the diagnostic value of serum lipoprotein (α)[LP(α)], cystatin-C (Cys-C) and uric acid (UA) on early diabetic nephropathy (DN). Methods In this retrospective analysis, 150 diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients admitted to Huludao Central Hospital from January 2020 to August 2021 were enrolled, according to urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), those patients were assigned into normal albuminuria (NA) group (n=50, UACR: 0~3 mg/mmol), microalbuminuria (MA) group (n=51, UACR: 3~29 mg/mmol), clinical albuminuria (CA) group (n=49, UACR>30 mg/mmol). The general clinical data, correlated clinical indexes, Serum LP(α), Cys-C, UA level were detected and compared among three groups. Pearson's correlation and Logistic regression analysis were used to analyze the correlation between each index and DN; receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of each index for DN.Results Among three groups, difference was statistically significant in the systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) (P<0.05); there were significant differences in the serum creatine (SCr), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), Cys-C, UA, LP(α) (P<0.05). LP(α) in MA group significantly increased when compared with NA group, with statistically significant difference (P<0.05). Pearson's correlation showed that serum Cys-C, UA, LP(α) were positively correlated with UACR and SCr, while negatively correlated with eGFR. Logistic regression analysis showed that the independent risk factors for early DN included Cys-C and LP(α). The results of ROC curve analysis showed that serum Cys-C and LP(α) had high diagnostic value for early DN. Conclusion Different degrees of renal damage in T2DM patients were reflected by Serum LP(α), Cys-C and UA, of which LP(α) and Cys-C being independent risk factors for early DN. The highest accuracy emerges in the combined of the three, with high diagnostic efficacy of prediction for early DN.
