Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to investigate the role of uric acid (UA) in diabetic nephropathy (DN) from epidemiological and genetic perspectives. METHODS We used data from the 2007-2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey to evaluate the relationship between UA and DN risk using weighted multivariate-adjusted logistic regression. Subsequently, a two-sample Mendelian randomization study was conducted using genome-wide association study summary statistics. The main inverse variance weighting (IVW) method and supplementary MR method were used to verify the causal relationship between UA and DN, and sensitivity analysis was conducted to confirm the credibility of the results. RESULTS Our observational study enrolled 4363 participants with diabetes mellitus from NHANES, among them, 2682 (61.4%) participants were identified as DN. The multivariate logistic regression model showed that compared with those without hyperuricemia, the DN risk of the hyperuricemia population was significantly increased (P < 0.05). The MR results suggest a direct causal effect of hyperuricemia on DN (IVW odds ratio (OR): 1.37 (95% confidence interval 1.07-1.76); P = 0.01), which is consistent with findings from other MR methods. CONCLUSION The evidence from observational studies indicates a positive correlation between HUA and the onset of DN. And the causal effects of HUA on DN were supported by the MR analysis.

Dose-response association of diabetic kidney disease with routine clinical parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review and meta-analysis. EClinicalMedicine 2024; 69:102482. [PMID: 38374967 PMCID: PMC10875261 DOI: 10.1016/j.eclinm.2024.102482] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/08/2023] [Revised: 01/24/2024] [Accepted: 01/25/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Background Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a leading cause of end-stage kidney disease and is associated with high mortality rates. The influence of routine clinical parameters on DKD onset in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains uncertain. Methods In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched multiple databases, including PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, and Cochrane Library, for studies published from each database inception until January 11, 2024. We included cohort studies examining the association between DKD onset and various clinical parameters, including body mass index (BMI), hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), total cholesterol (TC), triglycerides (TG), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), and serum uric acid (UA). Random-effect dose-response meta-analyses utilizing one-stage and/or cubic spline models, were used to estimate correlation strength. This study is registered in PROSPERO (CRD42022326148). Findings This analysis of 46 studies involving 317,502 patients found that in patients with T2DM, the risk of DKD onset increased by 3% per 1 kg/m2 increase in BMI (relative risk (RR) = 1.03, confidence interval (CI) [1.01-1.04], I2 = 70.07%; GRADE, moderate); a 12% increased risk of DKD onset for every 1% increase in HbA1c (RR = 1.12, CI [1.07-1.17], I2 = 94.94%; GRADE, moderate); a 6% increased risk of DKD onset for every 5 mmHg increase in SBP (RR = 1.06. CI [1.03-1.09], I2 = 85.41%; GRADE, moderate); a 2% increased risk of DKD onset per 10 mg/dL increase in TG (RR = 1.02, CI [1.01-1.03], I2 = 78.45%; GRADE, low); an 6% decreased risk of DKD onset per 10 mg/dL increase in HDL (RR = 0.94, CI [0.92-0.96], I2 = 0.33%; GRADE, high), and a 11% increased risk for each 1 mg/dL increase in UA (RR = 1.11, CI [1.05-1.17], I2 = 79.46%; GRADE, moderate). Subgroup analysis revealed a likely higher risk association of clinical parameters (BMI, HbA1c, LDL, and UA) in patients with T2DM for less than 10 years. Interpretation BMI, HbA1c, SBP, TG, HDL and UA are potential predictors of DKD onset in patients with T2DM. Given high heterogeneity between included studies, our findings should be interpreted with caution, but they suggest monitoring of these clinical parameters to identify individuals who may be at risk of developing DKD.

Abstract
Background Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients are likely to develop kidney disease. Early diagnosis, finding predictors and controlling risk factors are of great significance for T2DM patients. This study investigated the ability of uric acid (UA), the uric acid to creatinine (CR) ratio (UA/CR) and the uric acid to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (UHR) to assess the kidney function of T2DM patients and determined the relationship between the three indicators and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Methods A total of 1326 adult T2DM patients were enrolled in the current study. Patients were stratified into three groups according to their eGFRs. Spearman correlation was used to analyze the correlation between three indicators and the clinical variables. Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between the three indicators and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and kidney impairment (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses and the area under the ROC curve (AUC) were then used to assess the ability of UA, UA/CR, and UHR to discriminate kidney impairment in T2DM. Results UA and UHR demonstrated a positive association with DKD risk (P < 0.05). The odds ratios (ORs) were 1.005 (95% CI, 1.004-1.007) and 1.057 (95% CI, 1.039-1.076), respectively. UA/CR was negatively correlated with DKD risk (OR, 0.922 (95% CI, 0.876, 0.970), P < 0.05). Furthermore, UA and UHR demonstrated a strong positive association with kidney impairment risk, while UA/CR was negatively correlated with kidney impairment risk in T2DM patients (P < 0.05 for all) after adjusting for confounding factors. UA had the highest AUC (0.762) among the three indicators. UHR had a greater AUC (0.713) than UA/CR, which had an AUC value of 0.148 (p < 0.001). Conclusion UA is the best indicator of renal impairment (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2) among the three indicators, and UHR is a better indicator than UA/CR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder that leads to various complications, and among these complications, disruption in the lipid profile and serum uric acid (SUA) is one of the significant cases that can lead to the deterioration of the health status of patients with diabetes. So, we aimed to evaluate the level of SUA and lipid profiles in patients with diabetes. A total of 230 patients with diabetes who were admitted to Razi Hospital, Rasht, Iran, were enrolled in this study. Demographical data and clinical characteristics of the patients include gender, body mass index (BMI), duration of diabetes, history of smoking, FBS, HbA1c, SUA, Creatinine (Cr), Cholesterol (Chol), low-density lipoprotein (LDL), high-density lipoprotein (HDL), triglycerides (TG), retinopathy, hypertension, ischemic heart disease (IHD), and microalbuminuria were recorded. All data were analyzed using the SPSS version 21 by a significant level < 0.05. RESULT According to our results, 70 were male, and 160 were female, with a mean age of 57.36 ± 8.05 years and a mean BMI of 28.10 ± 4.62. The most frequent comorbidities were hypertension, 67%. The serum level of FBS, HBA1c, SUA, Cr, Chol, LDL, HDL, and TG were 191.47 ± 71.66 mg/dL, 7.94 ± 1.21 mg/dL, 5.65 ± 1.95 mg/dL, 0.94 ± 0.16 mg/dL, 167.28 ± 45.22 mg/dL, 95.91 ± 37.03 mg/dL, 39.78 ± 10.44 mg/dL, and 186.75 ± 76.65 mg/dL, respectively. Only UA had a significant relationship with TG level (P < 0.05).

Abstract
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the foremost cause of morbidity and deaths in antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), driven by thrombo-inflammation and atherothrombosis mechanisms. Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a proinflammatory and prothrombotic state characterized by increased CVD risk. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of MetS in APS patients compared to rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and diabetes mellitus (DM) and its associations with clinical and laboratory patient characteristics and vascular ultrasound (US) markers of subclinical atherosclerosis. Methods We included 414 patients in our study: 138 patients with APS (median age: 44.9 years, females 70%) and matched 1:1 for age and sex RA and DM subjects. Three sets of criteria were used for MetS diagnosis: Joint Interim Statement (JIS), International Diabetes Federation (IDF) and modified National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (NCEP-ATPIII). The demographic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of all participants were recorded and carotid and femoral US was performed in patients with APS. Multivariate regression models were applied. Results Prevalence of MetS was 23.9%, 23.2%, 20.3% (based on JIS, IDF, modified NCEP-ATPIII criteria, respectively) in APS versus 17.4%, 17.4%, 13% in RA (p=0.181, p=0.231, p=0.106, respectively), and 44.2%, 44.2%, 40.6% in DM patients. In multivariate analysis, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus- related APS had an approximately 2.5-fold higher risk of MetS versus RA patients. MetS in APS was independently associated with arterial thrombosis (Odds ratio 3.5, p=0.030). Odds ratio for MetS was 1.16 for each one unit increase in C-reactive protein levels according to JIS and IDF criteria, and 1.49 and 1.47 for each one unit increase in uric acid levels using the IDF and modified NCEP-ATPIII models, respectively. APS patients with atherosclerotic carotid plaques had 4 to 6.5-fold increased risk of MetS. Odds for MetS were decreased by 26% with an increase in physical activity by one hour per week. Conclusions MetS is present in approximately one-fourth of APS patients at a comparable prevalence to that observed in patients with RA. MetS in APS is associated with arterial thrombosis, cardiovascular risk biomarkers, physical activity, and subclinical atherosclerosis, supporting its role in cardiovascular risk stratification and management in APS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sedentary behavior or physical inactivity is considered a foremost contributor to the rise in obesity and overweight and a risk factor for several non-communicable diseases. However, its effect on the etiopathogenesis of some diseases is underestimated in both developed and developing countries worldwide. The present study designed a novel sedentary cage with a view to achieving sedentariness in rats, and also investigated the effectiveness of the cage in achieving sedentariness by assessing some markers of cardiometabolic risks in Wistar rats. METHODS Adult male Wistar rats were divided into 3 groups of six rats. Rats in Group 1 were the control. The sedentary groups were 4-hr. sedentary and 8-hr. sedentary. The sedentary rats were subjected to restrained movements for 4 and 8 hours daily in the sedentary cage for 3 months. Anthropometric indices, food consumption and blood pressure parameters of the rats were measured. Microalbuminuria and serum glucose, uric acid, albumin, nitric oxide, endothelin-1, insulin, inflammatory markers were also Measured. RESULTS Results indicated significant increases in body weight, BMI, Lee index, food consumption, systolic and diastolic pressure and decrease in serum nitric oxide bioavailability in the 8-hr sedentary rats. There were also significant increases in serum glucose, uric acid, endothelin-1, insulin, CRP and microalbuminuria in the 8-hr. sedentary rats in comparison with the control. The interleukin-6 and TNF-α also revealed a significant increase in the 8-hr. sedentary rats compared with the control. However, there was no significant difference in cortisol level across all the groups. CONCLUSIONS We concluded that the novel sedentary cage successfully caused sedentariness in the rats as evident by the alteration in the cardiometabolic health in the rats, especially the group that were made sedentary for 8 h.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) with chronic kidney disease (DM-CKD) and identify the associated factors in patients attending primary hospitals in Anhui Province, China. Methods A multi-stage sampling method was used to collect the demographic information, general clinical data, and details of the kidney disease of patients in 2019 through a questionnaire survey, physical examination, and laboratory examination. Results A total of 1067 patients with T2DM were studied, of whom 345 had chronic kidney disease (CKD; 32.33%); 18.8%, 12.2%, 58.0%, 9.9% and 1.2% of the participants had stages 1 to 5 CKD. Fifty-point-three percent of the participants were female and they were 59 ± 11.3 years old. Multivariate regression analysis revealed that age, systolic blood pressure, the duration of diabetes, hyperlipidaemia, and smoking were associated with DM-CKD. The duration of diabetes was positively associated with body mass index, 2-hour postprandial glucose, fasting blood glucose concentration, glycosylated haemoglobin, total cholesterol concentration and triglyceride concentration. Conclusions The incidence of DM-CKD is relatively high in primary hospitals in Anhui Province. Appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures should be instituted according to the age, the duration of diabetes, sex, hypertension, smoking habits, and lipidaemia of patients.

Abstract
Using animal models and molecular biology researches, hyperuricemia has been shown to instruct renal arteriolopathy, arterial hypertension, and microvascular injury involving the renin-angiotensin system and resulting in renal function impairment. Nevertheless, the association between uric acid levels and the development of albuminuria has been under-investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Patients with type 2 diabetes and regular outpatient visits were recruited from the Puli Branch of the Taichung Veterans General Hospital in Taiwan since January 2014. Demographics, lifestyle features, and medical history were gathered by well-trained interviewers. All participants underwent comprehensive physical examinations, including a biochemical assay of venous blood specimens and urine samples after an 8-hour overnight fast. Participants were followed until June 2018. The primary outcome was the albuminuria incidence. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression analysis were employed to explore the relation between uric acid and incident albuminuria. Uric acid cutoffs for incident albuminuria were determined with the receiver operator characteristic curve. We included 247 qualified subjects (mean age: 64.78 years old [standard deviation = 11.29 years]; 138 [55.87%] men). During a 4.5-year follow-up duration, 20 subjects with incident albuminuria were recognized. Serum uric acid was significantly associated with an increased risk of incident albuminuria (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.39; 95% confidence interval: 1.53-3.75; P < .001) with potential confounders adjustment. The uric acid cutoff point was 6.9 mg/dL (area under the curve 0.708, sensitivity 60.0%, specificity 84.58%) for incident albuminuria. Serum uric acid was associated with incident albuminuria among patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Sesamol, a major ingredient in sesame seeds (Sesamum indicum L.) and its oil, is considered a powerful functional food ingredient. However, few studies have investigated its effects on high-fat, high carbohydrate and high-cholesterol (HF-HCC) diet-induced nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) complicated with atherosclerosis. The present study elucidates the protective effects of sesamol against NASH and atherosclerosis in HF-HCC diet-fed rats. Sprague-Dawley rats were supplemented with or without sesamol in drinking water (0.05 mg mL-1, 0.1 mg mL-1 and 0.2 mg mL-1) from the beginning to end. At the end of the experiment, sesamol supplementation suppressed HF-HCC diet-induced body weight gain and increased absolute liver and adipose tissue weights in rats. Serum biochemical analyses showed that sesamol supplementation improved HF-HCC diet-induced metabolism disorders and damaged vascular endothelial function. Histological examinations displayed that dietary sesamol not only alleviated hepatic balloon degeneration, steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, but also mitigated lipid accumulation and fibrous elements in the aorta arch in HF-HCC diet-fed rats. In addition, sesamol supplementation inhibited hepatic NOD-like receptor protein 3 (NLRP3) expression and ERS-IRE1 signaling pathway activation. Moreover, sesamol treatment decreased uric acid levels both in serum and the liver by its effect on the inhibition of xanthine oxidase (XO) activity and/or its expression, which might be closely associated with the inhibitions of NLRP3 expression and ERS-IRE1 signaling pathway activation in HF-HCC diet-fed rats. These findings demonstrated that sesamol alleviated NASH and atherosclerosis in HF-HCC diet-fed rats, and may be a potent dietary supplement for protection against these diseases.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to investigate uric acid and albumin ratio (UA/A) as a marker of short-term mortality in acute kidney injury (AKI). Both uric acid and albumin are strongly correlated with the development and mortality of AKI. METHODS The patients hospitalized from May 2019 to September 2019 for AKI were included in this study. The diagnostic odds ratio (DOR), Youden index (J), and the area under a receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) determined a cut-off UA/A ratio for mortality. Cox-regression analysis was performed to identify UA/A as a prognostic marker of the 30-day mortality rate. RESULTS A total of 171 patients with an average age of 69.20±13.0 (45.6% women) were included in the study. The average UA/A ratio was 3.3±1.5 mg/g and 2.5±1.0 mg/g in the non-survivor and survivor groups, respectively (P=0.001). The best cut-off UA/A ratio associated with mortality was determined as 2.4 mg/g with a specificity of 52% and a sensitivity of 77% (DOR, 3.6; J, 28.8; AUROC, 0.644). Thirty-day cumulative survival rates of the low and high UA/A ratio groups were 85.9±4.0% and 63.7±5.0%, respectively. The estimated survival times of the low and high UA/A ratio groups were 27.7 days (95% confidence interval [CI], 26.2-29.3) and 23.9 days (95% Cl, 22.0-25.9), respectively. CONCLUSION We found a direct correlation between 30-day mortality and UA/A ratio at initial presentation in AKI patients regardless of age, comorbidities, and clinical and laboratory findings, including albuminuria.

Abstract
AIMS/INTRODUCTION There are few studies to investigate the relationship between macronutrients and longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This exploratory study sought to determine whether macronutrients were correlated with increased arterial stiffness independently of conventional atherosclerotic risk factors. MATERIALS AND METHODS The study participants comprised 733 type 2 diabetes outpatients who had no apparent history of cardiovascular diseases. The dietary schedule was assessed with a validated, brief, self-administered diet history questionnaire. At baseline and at years 2 and 5, brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity was measured. A multivariable linear mixed-effects model was used to determine the predictive values of macronutrients and atherosclerotic risk factors for longitudinal changes in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. RESULTS There was a significant increase in brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity values over the 5-year follow-up period. In a multivariable linear mixed-effects model that adjusted for age and sex, lower saturated fatty acid intake was significantly correlated with persistently higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity, independently of other atherosclerotic risk factors. Lower intake of dairy products in particular showed this correlation. CONCLUSIONS Our data showed that lower saturated fatty acids intake was correlated with persistently higher brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity in type 2 diabetes patients. Among food sources of saturated fatty acids, lower dairy products specifically were correlated with elevated brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity. This might be because the consumption of dairy products in Japan is much lower than in Western countries.

Associations between continuous glucose monitoring-derived metrics and arterial stiffness in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:15. [PMID: 33413339 PMCID: PMC7792328 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-020-01194-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 30] [Impact Index Per Article: 10.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2020] [Accepted: 12/09/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Previous studies have suggested that high mean glucose levels and glycemic abnormalities such as glucose fluctuation and hypoglycemia accelerate the progression of atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes. Although continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) that could evaluate such glycemic abnormalities has been rapidly adopted, the associations between CGM-derived metrics and arterial stiffness are not entirely clear. METHODS This exploratory cross-sectional study used baseline data from an ongoing prospective, multicenter, observational study with 5 years of follow-up. Study participants included 445 outpatients with type 2 diabetes and no history of apparent cardiovascular disease who underwent CGM and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) measurement at baseline. Associations between CGM-derived metrics and baPWV were analyzed using multivariate regression models. RESULTS In a linear regression model, all CGM-derived metrics were significantly associated with baPWV, but HbA1c was not. Some CGM-derived metrics related to intra-day glucose variability, hyperglycemia, and hypoglycemia remained significantly associated with baPWV after adjusting for possible atherosclerotic risk factors, including HbA1c. Based on baPWV ≥ 1800 cm/s as indicative of high arterial stiffness, multivariate logistic regression found that some CGM-derived metrics related to intra-day glucose variability and hyperglycemia are significantly associated with high arterial stiffness even after adjusting for possible atherosclerotic risk factors, including HbA1c. CONCLUSIONS Multiple CGM-derived metrics are significantly associated with baPWV and high arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes who have no history of apparent cardiovascular disease. These metrics might be useful for identifying patients at high risk of developing cardiovascular disease.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aims to investigate the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) and the severity of diabetic nephropathy (DN) and diabetic retinopathy (DR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). METHODS A total of 2961 patients were enrolled in the present cross-sectional study. The severity of DN was determined by 24-hour urinary albumin excretion (UAE), which was classified as normal (UAE <30 mg/24 h), microalbuminuria (UAE: 30-299 mg/24 h), and macroalbuminuria (≥300 mg/24 h). The severity of DR was determined by non-mydriatic retinal photography and was classified as non-diabetic retinopathy (NDR), non-proliferative diabetic retinopathy (NPDR), and proliferative DR (PDR). RESULTS Patients with high SUA levels (≥420 μmol/L for males and ≥360 μmol/L for females) had a significantly higher prevalence of DN (UAE ≥30 mg/24 h, 39.3% vs 26.3%; p < 0.001), higher UAE levels (140 ± 297 vs 63 ± 175 mg/24 h; p < 0.001), and lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR; 79.3 ± 26.8 vs 96.8 ± 19.6 mL/min/1.73 m; p < 0.001), when compared with patients with normal SUA levels. However, the prevalence of DR, NPDR, or PDR did not differ. Furthermore, the concentration of SUA was higher in patients with higher severity of DN (all, p < 0.001) and patients with PDR (compared with NDR or NPDR, p < 0.05). SUA levels were positively associated with male gender, body mass index, the use of diuretics, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein, and UAE levels, whereas they were negatively correlated with high-density lipoprotein, fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin, and eGFR. After adjustment, SUA remained significantly associated with UAE (r = 0.069, p < 0.001). CONCLUSION For patients with T2DM, higher SUA levels are associated with higher UAE, lower eGFR, and higher prevalence of DN, but not DR.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE While certain lifestyle habits may be associated with arterial stiffness, there is limited literature investigating the relationship between lifestyle habits and longitudinal changes in arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). This is an exploratory study to determine whether lifestyle habits, in addition to conventional atherosclerotic risk factors, are associated with increased arterial stiffness. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The study participants comprised 734 Japanese outpatients with T2DM and no history of apparent cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle habits were analyzed using self-reported questionnaires, and brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) was measured at baseline, and at years 2 and 5. A multivariable linear mixed-effects model was used to determine the predictive value of lifestyle habits and possible atherosclerotic risk factors for longitudinal change in baPWV. RESULTS Over 5 years of follow-up, baPWV values significantly increased. In a multivariable linear mixed-effects model that adjusted for age and gender, a low frequency of breakfast intake was significantly associated with persistently high baPWV, independently of other lifestyle habits. Furthermore, in a multivariable linear mixed-effects model that included both lifestyle habits and possible atherosclerotic risk factors, a low frequency of breakfast intake remained the only independent predictive factor for persistently high baPWV. Subjects who ate breakfast less frequently tended to have additional unhealthy lifestyle habits and atherosclerotic risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Our analyses suggest that breakfast skipping is an independent lifestyle habit that is associated with persistently increased arterial stiffness in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
Intravitreal injection of anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (anti-VEGF) is the current standard of treatment for choroidal neovascularization (CNV) secondary to neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), but there are no diagnostic tools to predict response of these therapies. We hypothesize that differences in baseline metabolic profiles of patients with nAMD may influence responsiveness to anti-VEGF therapy, and thus provide prognosticating information for these patients. A prospective study was performed on 100 patients with nAMD treated with anti-VEGF therapy. We classified patients into two groups: responders (n = 54) and non-responders (n = 46). The expression levels of glycerophosphocholine,LysoPC (18:2) and PS (18:0/20:4) were higher in non-responders and these findings were verified in the validation cohort, implicating that reductions in these three metabolites can be used as predictors for responsiveness to anti-VEGF therapy during the initial loading phase for patients with nAMD. Our study also provided new insights into the pathophysiological changes and molecular mechanism of anti- VEGF therapy for nAMD patients.

Abstract
Introduction: The occurrence of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients is regarded as an early clinical sign of incipient kidney damage. Microalbuminuria is often evaluated as urinary albumin to urinary creatinine ratio (ACR). Aim: To assess determinants of microalbuminuria in T2DM patients without prior diagnosis of nephropathy using ACR cut-off values. Materials and Methods: ACR was measured in a total of 90 T2DM patients, during two months in three non-consecutive days, and routine biochemical analyses were performed, including glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum uric acid (SUA), and atherogenic index of plasma (AIP). The cut-off values of ACR were ≤ 2.5 mg/mmol in males, and ≤ 3.5 mg/mmol in females. Duration of T2DM, history of hypertension, HbA1c, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), AIP, and SUA were investigated for association with microalbuminuria. Results: According to ACR patients were considered as non-albuminuric (n= 57) and microalbuminuric (n = 33). Compared to non-albuminuric group, microalbuminuric group had increased urinary creatinine, urinary albumin, HbA1c, triglycerides and SUA, whilst decreased HDL-cholesterol levels. Although eGFR was generally reduced, the correlation between LogACR and eGFR was not significant (p > 0.05). However, the correlation between LogACR and LogHbA1c was significant. The multiple logistic regression analysis revealed HbA1c (t = 3.42; p = 0.012) and SUA (t = 2.44; p = 0.040) as independent predictors of microalbuminuria in T2DM patients. Conclusion: At ACR cut-off values, concentrations of HbA1c and SUA were independent predictors of microalbuminuria in T2DM patients not yet diagnosed with nephropathy.

[PMID: 31879654 PMCID: PMC6924255 DOI: 10.4103/jfmpc.jfmpc_777_19] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/15/2019] [Revised: 09/16/2019] [Accepted: 09/26/2019] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
Introduction: Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous group of metabolic disorders of disturbance of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism causing macrovascular (like coronary artery disease) and microvascular (kidney damage) complications. Microalbuminuria is the first manifestation of injury to glomerular filtration barrier and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) of common carotid artery serves as an excellent marker for early lesion of atherosclerosis. Method: A cross-sectional observational study was carried out over a period of 1.5 years in PGIMER, DR. RML Hospital, New Delhi. Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, aged between 35 and 60 years, were investigated for uric acid (UA), urine albumin levels, and common carotid IMT during this period. Patients on drugs that affect serum UA level, patients with acute illness, patients with serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL, or with coronary artery disease were excluded from study. Result: Prevalence of hyperuricemia was found to be high (46%) in type 2 diabetic patients. It was also higher in females (73.7%) than males (25.8%). There was positive correlation between serum UA concentrations with logarithm of urine albumin excretion (P < 0.023) and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) (P < 0.027). Plaque index also showed a positive correlation with UA (P < 0.019). However, there was no positive correlation with UA and other variable such as age, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, HbA1c, lipid profiles, urea, and creatinine. Conclusion: Serum UA concentration thus serves as an early marker of renal dysfunction and cardiovascular diseases in type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In this study, we aimed to analyze the relationship between serum uric acid (UA) and microalbuminuria as a marker of renal injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus. METHODS A total of 100 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in the study. Participants were divided into two groups according to the urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio: diabetic nephropathy and non-nephropathy group. UA and microalbuminuria were compared between the study groups. RESULTS Serum UA levels of diabetic nephropathy patients were significantly higher than those in the non-nephropathy group (UA in patients with diabetic nephropathy groups: 6.3 (1.82) mg/dl, UA in patients of the non-nephropathic group: 4.85 (1.92) mg/dl) (p<0.001). There was a correlation between microalbuminuria and UA (r=0.238). This correlation was statistically significant (p=0.017). CONCLUSION UA levels may be an important predictor of nephropathy in diabetic patients.

Abstract
Background: Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic immune-mediated disease. It is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk factors (obesity, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia), giving a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events. Patients with PsA have an increased incidence of subclinical atherosclerosis and endothelial dysfunction. The aim of this study is to perform a review of the biomarkers of subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with PsA. Methods: A search was performed in the electronic databases (PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, and Embase) up until July 2017. Studies were considered if they included data on biomarkers of subclinical atherosclerosis in PsA, and each article was then reviewed for quality and clinical relevance. After completing the literature search, all screened literature was summarized and discussed in our study group (CaRRDs study group). Results: The initial search produced 532 abstracts, which were limited to 258 potentially relevant articles by preliminary review of the titles and by excluding review articles and case reports (n=274). A further 102 articles were deemed ineligible after examining the abstracts. Full texts of the remaining 156 articles were retrieved. Most articles were excluded because they were not relevant to the biomarkers of subclinical atherosclerosis in psoriasis and/or PsA. In the end, 54 articles were deemed eligible for this review. Conclusion: Patients with PsA showed more severe atherosclerotic disease compared with patients with only psoriasis. This may have been due to the higher systemic inflammatory burden from the combination of both diseases. In patients with PsA some molecules may be considered as markers of atherosclerotic disease, and their detection may be a prognostic marker, in addition to imaging procedures, for the development of atherosclerotic disease, and could be suitable for the management of patients with PsA.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recognition of MetS in type two diabetic patients is important in starting the appropriate preventive and therapeutic measures. The commonly used definitions of MetS have similarities and discrepancies. Different definitions defined metabolic syndrome differently. IDF, WHO, NCEP-ATP III, and the harmonized definitions were used frequently to determine the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. OBJECTIVES This study was aimed to investigate the prevalence of MetS and its associated factors among patients with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus using four definitions and to identify the concordance and the difference of these four definitions. METHODS A cross-sectional study was conducted from February 28 to May 30/2017 at Hawassa university comprehensive specialized hospital. The study involved 314 study participants selected by simple random sampling technique. Logistic regression was used to determine associated factors of metabolic syndrome, and kappa statistics was used to determine the concordance between different definitions of metabolic syndrome. In any cases, a p-value of <0.05 was considered to be statistically significant. RESULT The prevalence of metabolic syndrome according to IDF, WHO, harmonized, and NCEP-ATP III diagnostic criteria was 59.9%, 31.2%, 65.6%, and 70.1%, respectively. Our study found the maximum agreement between IDF and NCEP criteria (K=0.54, P<0.001) and IDF and Harmonized(K=0.65, P<0.001). Uric acid level was associated factor of metabolic syndrome by all the four definitions, and total cholesterol was associated factors by the three definitions. CONCLUSION The prevalence of metabolic syndrome varies based on the definition used and the highest prevalence of MetS was observed with NCEP-ATP III and the different types of criteria do not always diagnose the same group of individuals.

Abstract
Background Raised serum uric acid (SUA) level is commonly observed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitor, a novel oral diabetic drug, might exert a potential hypouricemic effect. We evaluated the effects of dapagliflozin on SUA levels in hospitalized T2DM patients with inadequate glycemic control. Methods In this randomized controlled trial, 59 T2DM hospitalized patients with inadequate glycemic control were assigned to the dapagliflozin 10 mg group (n=29) or the control group (n=30). The primary outcome was changes in SUA levels from the baseline to good glycemic control. Additional outcomes included correlations between baseline SUA levels, urinary parameters, and the changes in SUA levels. This trial is registered in the Chinese Clinical Trial Registry (number ChiCTR1800015830). Results Compared to baseline level, SUA levels had significantly decreased in both groups (P<0.001 for the dapagliflozin group and P=0.013 for the control group). Mean changes from baseline in SUA levels for dapagliflozin vs the control group were 68.03 vs 25.90 μmol/L (P=0.0406). Adjusted mean SUA levels were lower in the dapagliflozin group (273.28 vs 307.57 μmol/L; P=0.0089). In T2DM patients treated with dapagliflozin, the decrease in SUA levels was positively correlated with baseline SUA levels (P<0.0001) but not correlated with changes in 24-hour urine volume, 24-hour urine glucose, or 24-hour urinary uric acid. Conclusion Dapagliflozin could improve glycemic control and lower SUA levels in hospitalized patients with uncontrolled T2DM. Longer-time trials are required to further demonstrate the hypouricemic effect of dapagliflozin and explore the potential underlying mechanisms.

Abstract
Background Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the major cause of end-stage renal disease. Recent studies suggest that it is probable that uric acid is involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. This study aim was to investigate the association between serum uric acid and kidney function in Iranian patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Methods In this case-control study, a total of 201 diabetic patients with or without impaired kidney function (glomerular filtration rate/GFR < 60 and GFR ≥ 60) were selected. In both groups, serum fasting glucose (FBS), HbA1c, urea, creatinine, uric acid and lipid profile, urine albumin and GFR were measured and results were compared between the two groups. The results also categorized into three groups based on uric acid tertiles. Results Serum levels of uric acid, urea and creatinine as well as urine albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) were significantly different between the two groups. GFR, creatinine and also urea were significantly different between uric acid tertiles (p < 0.05). Conclusions Serum uric acid is associated with decreased GFR as well as albuminuria and can be used as an indicator of DN.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Multiple experimental and clinical studies have identified pathways by which uric acid may facilitate the development and progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in people with diabetes. However, it remains uncertain if the association of uric acid with CKD represents a pathogenic effect or merely reflects renal impairment. RECENT FINDINGS In contrast to many published reports, a recent Mendelian randomization study did not identify a causal link between uric acid and CKD in people with type 1 diabetes. Two recent multicenter randomized control trials, Preventing Early Renal Function Loss in Diabetes (PERL) and FEbuxostat versus placebo rAndomized controlled Trial regarding reduced renal function in patients with Hyperuricemia complicated by chRonic kidney disease stage 3 (FEATHER), were recently designed to assess if uric acid lowering slows progression of CKD. We review the evidence supporting a role for uric acid in the pathogenesis of CKD in people with diabetes and the putative benefits of uric acid lowering.

Abstract
Background The carotid intima media thickness (cIMT) and carotid plaque score (cPS) are respective markers of early and late stage subclinical atherosclerosis. Relationships between some laboratory parameters and subclinical atherosclerosis are not yet clear in community dwelling individuals and non-diabetic subjects, so we try to elucidate these relationships and find a model to predict early and late stage subclinical atherosclerosis. Methods We examined relationships of the cIMT and cPS with different laboratory and demographic data of 331 subjects from a community-based prospective cohort study, using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results In regression models and after multiple adjustments, only systolic blood pressure (SBP), age, glycated hemoglobin (HBA1c), and waist circumference (WC) were determinants of the cIMT, and only age, SBP, HBA1c, and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were determinants of a cPS of > 2 in all individuals. Only HBA1c lost its association with regard to predicting the cIMT in non-diabetic subjects. Conclusions HBA1c at > 5.9% can determine early and late stage subclinical atherosclerosis in community dwelling individuals, but only late stage subclinical atherosclerosis in non-diabetic subjects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We assessed the prospective association between baseline serum uric acid levels and consequent risk of developing diabetic retinopathy. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data for 1839 type 2 diabetes patients without diabetic retinopathy were obtained from a Japanese diabetes registry. A Cox proportional hazards model with time-varying exposure information by sex was used and adjusted for potential confounders to assess the independent correlations between baseline serum uric acid levels and incidence rate of diabetic retinopathy. RESULTS Newly developed diabetic retinopathy was recognized in 188 patients (10.2%) during the observation period of 2 years. Compared to the first serum uric acid quartile level, the multivariate adjusted hazards ratio for diabetic retinopathy development in male patients was 1.97 (95% CI, 1.14-3.41; P = .015), 1.92 (95% CI, 1.18-3.13; P = .008), and 2.17 (95% CI, 1.40-3.37; P = .001) for the second, third, and fourth serum uric acid quartile levels, respectively. But this was not the case with female patients. CONCLUSION Higher serum uric acid levels were associated with increased risk of developing diabetic retinopathy in male patients with type 2 diabetes, but not in female patients. Serum uric acid may be a useful biomarker for predicting the future risk of developing diabetic retinopathy in male patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Recent studies have reported an association between serum uric acid (SUA) and renal arteriolar changes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the association in individuals without CKD remains unclear. In this study, we investigated the relationship between SUA and renal arteriolar lesions in individuals without CKD from our living kidney donor cohort. METHODS Between January 2006 and May 2016, 393 living kidney donors underwent "time-zero" biopsy at Kyushu University Hospital. Patients were divided into sex-specific quartiles of SUA before donation: Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 (male: <5.2,5.2-5.8,5.9-6.4, and ≥6.5 mg/dL, female: <3.8,3.8-4.3,4.4-5.0, and ≥5.1 mg/dL). Renal arteriolar hyalinization and wall thickening were assessed using a semiquantitative grading system. Predictive performance was compared between models with and without SUA by calculating the net reclassification improvement (NRI). RESULTS In total, 158 (40.2%) patients had arteriolar hyalinization, and 148 (37.6%) had wall thickening. High SUA was significantly associated with arteriolar hyalinization in multivariable logistic analysis (odds ratio [OR] per 1-mg/dL increase in SUA, 1.24; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.00-1.53; p = 0.048. OR for Q4 vs. Q2, 2.22; 95% CI, 1.17-4.21; p = 0.01). We found no association between SUA and wall thickening. When SUA was incorporated into a predictive model with conventional atherosclerotic factors, the NRI was 0.21 (p = 0.04). CONCLUSIONS High SUA was an independent risk factor for arteriolar hyalinization in individuals without CKD. SUA provided additional predictive value beyond conventional atherosclerotic factors in predicting arteriolar hyalinization.

Abstract
Hyperuricemia has been linked to metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular disease, and chronic kidney disease. Hyperuricemia and type 2 diabetes mellitus were inter-related, type 2 diabetes mellitus was more at risk of having a higher serum uric acid level, and also individuals with higher serum uric acid had higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes in the future. Insulin resistance seems to play an important role in the causal relationship between metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, and hyperuricemia. Oral diabetic drugs that would have additional beneficial effects on reducing serum uric acid levels are of importance. Selective SGLT2 inhibitors were extensively studied in type 2 diabetes mellitus and were found to have improvement of glycemic control, in addition to their proven metabolic effects on weight and blood pressure. Additional beneficial effect of SGLT2 inhibitors on serum uric acid level reduction is investigated. Recently, data have been accumulating showing that they have additional beneficial effects on serum uric acid reduction. As for the postulated mechanism, serum uric acid decreased in SGLT2 inhibitor users as a result of the increase in the urinary excretion rate of uric acid, due to the inhibition of uric acid reabsorption mediated by the effect of the drug on the GLUT9 isoform 2, located at the collecting duct of the renal tubule.

Abstract
Background While conventional cardiovascular risk factors and certain lifestyle habits are associated with arterial stiffness in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), it is still unknown whether they are actually associated with arterial stiffness even after adjustment for conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits. The aim of this study was to identify variables that are associated with brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV). Methods The study participants comprised 724 Japanese T2DM outpatients free of history of cardiovascular diseases. Lifestyle habits were analyzed using self-reported questionnaires. The associations among conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits with baPWV were investigated by multivariable linear regression analysis. Results The mean age of the study subjects was 57.8 ± 8.6 years, and 62.8% of those were males. The mean HbA1c was 7.0±1.0%, and the estimated duration of T2DM was 9.9 ± 7.2 years. Multiple linear regression analysis that included age and gender demonstrated that age and male sex were positively associated with baPWV. In a model adjusted for numerous conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits, age, duration of T2DM, systolic blood pressure, serum uric acid, urinary albumin excretion and poor sleep quality were positively associated with baPWV, while body mass index was negatively associated with baPWV. Conclusions In Japanese T2DM, in addition to several conventional cardiovascular risk factors, poor sleep quality was associated with baPWV even after adjustment for numerous conventional cardiovascular risk factors and lifestyle habits.

Association of peripheral nesfatin-1 with early stage diabetic nephropathy. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2016; 24:17-22. [PMID: 28038936 DOI: 10.1016/j.pathophys.2016.12.001] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2016] [Revised: 11/10/2016] [Accepted: 12/12/2016] [Indexed: 02/06/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nesfatin-1 is a newly found anorectic neuropeptide with potent metabolic regulatory effects that its circulating levels are shown to be elevated in diabetes. We compared serum nesfatin-1 in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria (30mg/day≤urinary albumin excretion (UAE) <300mg/day) with their control patients with type 2 diabetes and normoalbuminuria (UAE <30mg/day). PATIENTS AND METHODS In a cross sectional setting, 44 adult patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria and 44 control patients with type 2 diabetes and normoalbuminuria were evaluated. Serum levels of nesfatin-1 along with demographic, clinical and biochemical factors associated with diabetes was measured. RESULTS Mean peripheral concentrations of nesfatin-1 were significantly higher in patients with diabetes who had microalbuminuria compared to normoalbuminuric control patients (175.27±25.96pg/ml vs. 134.66±23.18pg/ml, respectively; p value<0.001). Significant positive correlations were found between circulating nesfatin-1 levels and the following case-mix variables: duration of diabetes, glycated hemoglobin, plasma creatinine, UAE and serum uric acid. In the multivariate logistic regression and after adjustment for a constellation of potentially confounding variables associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD), circulating nesfatin-1 was the only variable significantly associated with microalbuminuria (odds ratio [95% confidence interval]=1.224 [1.007-1.487], p value=0.042). CONCLUSION In patients with type 2 diabetes, circulating nesfatin-1 appears to be associated with microalbuminuria independent of other established risk factors of DKD. The underlying pathophysiological mechanisms and the prognostic significance of this association remain to be elucidated.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to explore independent associations between serum uric acid and hypoglycaemia, and whether mildly increased serum uric acid exacerbated the association between mild decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hypoglycaemia. METHODS A cross-sectional survey of 6713 inpatients with type 2 diabetes and eGFR ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and admitted to 81 tertiary care hospitals in China was conducted. Self-reported asymptotic hypoglycaemia with plasma glucose ≤3.9 mmol/L, hypoglycaemia episodes with symptoms in 1 month or hypoglycaemia that needed assistance from other people in 3 months before hospitalization was used to define hypoglycaemia. Binary logistic regression was used to estimate odds ratios of serum uric acid for hypoglycaemia. Three measures, that is, relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI), attributable proportion due to interaction and synergy index (S) were used to estimate the effect of mildly decreased eGFR on the association of serum uric acid with hypoglycaemia. RESULTS Serum uric acid was associated with hypoglycaemia in an ordinal manner (P for trend <0.01) with an odds ratio of top quartile versus the lowest quartile up to 3.03 (95% confidence interval: 2.13-4.32). The odds ratio of serum uric acid levels ≥ versus <283 µmol/L (i.e. the median) was 1.98 (95% confidence interval:1.58-2.48). Serum uric acid levels ≥ versus <283 µmol/L greatly enhanced the association between mild decline in eGFR (eGFR < 90 mL/min/1.73 m2 ) and hypoglycaemia from 0.94 (0.36-2.43) to 3.90 (2.55-5.95), with a significant additive interaction (P < 0.05 for RERI, AP and S). CONCLUSIONS Mildly increased serum uric acid was associated with increased risk of hypoglycaemia and enhanced the association between mildly decreased eGFR and hypoglycaemia in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Microalbuminuria (MAU) is associated with an enhanced risk of cardiovascular events. The prevalence of MAU and its prognostic impact has an important role in the stratification of cardiovascular risk in patients with essential hypertension. This is an observational, prospective study performed by 13 general practitioners aiming at assessing the prevalence and prognostic relevance of MAU in essential hypertension. METHODS Patients with essential hypertension and with recent determination of MAU were enrolled into the study by general practitioners, and were followed up for 3 years. Primary end point was the occurrence of major cardiovascular events during the follow-up. RESULTS Out of 1024 unselected patients, consecutively enrolled from January 2009 to March 2010, 804 completed the 3-year follow-up. Patients were categorized into two groups according to the absence (n = 523, 65%) or presence (n = 281, 35%) of MAU. During the follow-up, 41 cardiovascular events (1.69 events/100 patient-years) were reported. The presence of MAU was not associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events (adjusted hazard ratio = 1.32; 95% confidence interval 0.290-4.340, P = 0.097). When the analysis was restricted to the patients with previous cardiovascular event, MAU (adjusted hazard ratio = 2.18; 95% confidence interval 0.42-2.43, P = 0.031), together with age, metabolic syndrome, diabetes, and smoking, independently predicted the occurrence of cardiovascular events. CONCLUSION Presence of MAU in patients with essential hypertension is not associated with increased risks of cardiovascular events. At the variance, in patients with previous cardiovascular events, MAU was found to predict recurrent events. Thus, the assessment of MAU could be considered a useful tool in secondary prevention.

Abstract
The aim of our work was to assess ultrasound features of cardiovascular (CV) risk in stages of gout. Cross-sectional complex multimodal ultrasound study of 169 age-matched patients, with similar distribution of arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, obesity and chronic renal failure, was divided into four groups: 41 with asymptomatic hyperuricemia, 52 gout without tophi, 42 gouty tophi and 34 controls with osteoarthritis. Parameters independently associated with CV risk were measured: renal resistive index (RRI), left ventricular mass index (LVMi), mitral annulus early diastolic velocity (e'), intima-media thickness (IMT) and common carotid artery resistive index (CCARI). Multivariate analyses were performed to evaluate the impact of gout stages and CV risk factors on ultrasound alterations. Gouty tophi increased the risk of having IMT >0.90 mm with an OR 11.51 (95 % CI 2.32-57.21, p = 0.003), gout without tophi raised the risk with an OR 6.25 (95 % CI 1.37-28.44, p = 0.018), while asymptomatic hyperuricemia had no effect on IMT. The category of CCARI >0.70 was influenced by tophi with an OR 11.18 (95 % CI 2.61-47.83, p = 0.001) and by arterial hypertension with an OR 3.22 (95 % CI 1.11-9.36, p = 0.032). Neither asymptomatic hyperuricemia nor gout without tophi modified the development of abnormally high CCARI. Gout stages had no impact on LVMi, e' and RRI. Tophi are related to worsened ultrasonographic parameters evaluating target organs in gout, relative to earlier stages of the disease. They create a strong risk of carotid arteries' changes even beyond arterial hypertension.

Abstract
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) may experience chronic microvascular complications such as diabetic retinopathy (DR) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) during their lifetime. In clinical studies, serum uric acid concentration has been found to be associated with DR and DN. The goal of this study was to evaluate the relationship between the increases in serum uric acid level and the severity of DR and albuminuria in Taiwanese patients with type 2 DM. We recorded serum uric acid concentration, the severity of DR, and the severity of albuminuria by calculating urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in 385 patients with type 2 DM. In multivariate logistic regression analysis, a high uric acid concentration was a risk factor for albuminuria (odds ratio (OR), 1.227; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.015–1.482; p = 0.034) and DR (OR, 1.264; 95% CI = 1.084–1.473; p = 0.003). We also demonstrated that there was a higher concentration of serum uric acid in the patients with more severe albuminuria and DR. In conclusion, an increased serum uric acid level was significantly correlated with the severity of albuminuria and DR in Taiwanese patients with type 2 DM.

Abstract
AIMS To assess the prospective association between baseline serum uric acid level and subsequent risk of development or progression in albuminuria. METHODS Longitudinal data were obtained from 2518 patients with type 2 diabetes in the development cohort and registered in a Japanese diabetes registry. To assess the independent correlations between baseline serum uric acid quartiles and either the development or progression of diabetic nephropathy for 2 years, the Cox proportional hazards model was used and adjusted for potential confounders. RESULTS The mean patient age, body mass index, and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level were 66.1 years, 24.6 kg/m(2), and 7.5 % (57.6 mmol/mol), respectively. The baseline serum uric acid levels, with mean values of 3.6, 4.9, 5.8, and 7.3 mg/dL from the first to fourth quartiles, were significantly associated with the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio at baseline (p < 0.001). Baseline uric acid levels were not significantly associated with the development of nephropathy, but they were with the progression of nephropathy. The multivariable-adjusted hazards ratios for the progression from microalbuminuria to macroalbuminuria were 2.17 [95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.15-4.08; p = 0.016], 3.04 (95 % CI 1.67-5.53; p < 0.001), and 3.56 (95 % CI 1.83-6.93; p < 0.0011) for the first, third, and fourth quartiles of serum uric acid levels, respectively, as compared to that for the second quartile. We did not observe significant association between uric acid levels and change in estimated glomerular filtration rate. CONCLUSIONS Low and high serum uric levels, independent of possible confounders, were associated with a subsequent risk of progression, not development, in albuminuria in type 2 diabetes patients. Therefore, serum uric acid levels may be useful for predicting the future risk of progression of microalbuminuria.

Abstract
Background: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by insulin deficiency or peripheral resistance resulting in hyperglycemia. Poor glycemic control leads to diabetic complications. Hyperuricemia has been reported with increased risk of renal insufficiency. The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between serum uric acid concentration, degree of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) in Type 2 DM (T2DM) patients. Materials and Methods: Serum uric acid concentrations, urine microalbumin, and HbA1c were measured in fifty T2DM patients. We then evaluated relationship between uric acid concentrations, degree of UAE and glycemic control as well as other confounding variables. Results: Serum uric acid concentration correlated positively with UAE (r = 0.323, P < 0.05), age (r = 0.337, P < 0.05), age at onset (r = 0.341, P < 0.05), and duration of DM (r = 0.312, P < 0.05). Multiple regression analysis demonstrated that serum uric acid concentration (β = 0.293, P < 0.0001), duration of DM (β = 0.261, P < 0.0001), HbA1c (β = 0.173, P < 0.005), and systolic blood pressure (β = 0.268, P < 0.005) were independent determinants of UAE. Conclusions: Serum uric acid concentration is associated with microalbuminuria and HbA1c in T2DM patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Dapagliflozin's antihyperglycemic effects are mediated by inhibition of renal sodium-glucose cotransporter-2; therefore, renal safety of dapagliflozin was assessed. METHODS Twelve double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized clinical trials were analyzed up to 24 weeks (N = 4545). Six of the 12 studies included long-term data for up to 102 weeks (N = 3036). Patients with type 2 diabetes with normal or mildly impaired renal function [estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) 60 to <90 mL/min/1.73 m(2)] were treated with dapagliflozin (2.5, 5, or 10 mg/day) or placebo. Renal adverse events (AEs) were assessed. RESULTS Mean eGFR showed small transient reductions with dapagliflozin at week 1, but returned to near baseline values by week 24 and remained stable to week 102. Mean eGFR changes were not very different for dapagliflozin 2.5, 5 and 10 mg versus placebo at 102 weeks: -0.74, 2.52 and 1.38 versus 1.31 mL/min/1.73 m(2), respectively. Renal AEs were similar in frequency to placebo through 24 weeks (1.4, 1.3, 0.9, and 0.9 %, respectively) and 102 weeks (2.4, 1.8, 1.9 and 1.7 %, respectively). Few were serious (0.2, 0.1, 0 and 0.3 %, respectively, over 102 weeks). The most common renal event was serum creatinine increase. In sub-group analyses in patients ≥65 years of age or those with moderate renal impairment (eGFR 30 to <60 mL/min/1.73 m(2)), renal AEs occurred more frequently with dapagliflozin than placebo. No events of acute tubular necrosis were reported. CONCLUSION In patients with normal or mildly impaired renal function, dapagliflozin is not associated with increased risk of acute renal toxicity or deterioration of renal function. All trials included in this analysis are registered at ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00263276, NCT00972244, NCT00528372, NCT00736879, NCT00528879, NCT00855166, NCT00357370, NCT00680745, NCT00683878, NCT00673231, NCT00643851, NCT00859898.

Abstract
Background We assessed the prospective association between baseline serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations and consequent risk of chronic kidney disease (CKD) progression in type 2 diabetes patients. Methods Longitudinal data from a Japanese diabetes registry including 3454 type 2 diabetes patients were obtained. To assess the independent correlations between SUA and rapid CKD progression [i.e., 30 % reduction in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over 2 years], participants were divided into five groups based on SUA levels: <5.0, ≥5.0-6.0, ≥6.0-7.0, ≥7.0-8.0, and ≥8.0 mg/dl. Cox proportional hazards model adjusted for potential confounders was used for analysis. Results After 2 years, rapid CKD progression was recognized in 169 patients (4.89 %) who showed longer duration of type 2 diabetes (15.5 vs. 13.5 years, p = 0.005); higher systolic blood pressure (142.0 vs. 138.3 mmHg, p = 0.016), SUA (6.15 vs. 5.32 mg/dl, p < 0.001), and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (1127.4 vs. 184.7 mg/gCr, p < 0.001); and lower diastolic blood pressure (69.7 vs. 72.8 mmHg, p = 0.003). Multivariate ratios for rapid CKD progression were 1.19 (p = 0.371), 1.02 (p = 0.937), 1.18 (p = 0.625), and 3.04 (p = 0.004), respectively, for the first, third, fourth, and fifth serum UA range groups; a second group was used as a reference. Conclusions Higher SUA levels, independent of possible confounders, were associated with rapid eGFR decline and CKD progression in type 2 diabetes patients. SUA may be a useful biomarker for predicting future risk of rapid diabetic CKD progression.

Abstract
Hyperuricaemia in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) has been less well investigated in sub-Saharan Africans. Our study of 438 patients found that alcohol intake, body mass index ≥25 kg/m2, hydrochlorothiazide use, statin use, diabetic retinopathy and glomerular filtration rate <60 mL/min/1.73m2 were independently positively associated with hyperuricaemia; whereas smoking reduced this risk. Hyperuricaemia is strongly associated with some modifiable factors, diabetic complications and certain drugs. Our results suggest that further studies should evaluate the potential cost-benefit of screening for hyperuricaemia in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the effects of long-term effective control of serum uric acid on renal function in patients with type 2 diabetes and asymptomatic hyperuricemia. METHODS Application of randomized open parallel-controlled methods, a total of 176 patients with type 2 diabetes and asymptomatic hyperuricemia were selected, and was randomly divided into two groups for allopurinol or conventional treatments, respectively. Changes in urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), the levels of serum creatinine and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and the incidence of new-onset diabetic nephropathy (DN) and hypertension in patients before and after 3 years of treatment were measured and compared between groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant difference in the baseline clinical characteristics of study participants between two treatment groups (P > 0·05 for all). After 3 years of treatment, compared to the conventional treatment, the allopurinol treatment was more effective in reducing serum uric acid, UAER, serum creatinine (P < 0·01 for all) and increasing GFR (P < 0·01). The intention-to-treat (ITT) analysis indicated that the incidence of new-onset DN and hypertension in the allopurinol group showed a declining trend compared to that in the conventional treatment group, despite a lack of significant difference (P > 0·05). CONCLUSION Long-term effective control of serum uric acid can decrease UAER and serum creatinine, increase GFR and may exert kidney protection effects in patients with type 2 diabetes and asymptomatic hyperuricemia.

Abstract
Clinical studies have reported associations between serum uric acid levels and the development of diabetic nephropathy, but the underlying mechanisms remain elusive. There is evidence from animal studies that blocking uric acid production protects the kidney from tubulointerstitial injury, which may suggest a causal role for uric acid in the development of diabetic tubular injury. In turn, when fructose, which is endogenously produced in diabetes via the polyol pathway, is metabolised, uric acid is generated from a side-chain reaction driven by ATP depletion and purine nucleotide turnover. For this reason, uric acid derived from endogenous fructose could cause tubulointerstitial injury in diabetes. Accordingly, our research group recently demonstrated that blocking fructose metabolism in a diabetic mouse model mitigated the development of tubulointerstitial injury by lowering tubular uric acid production. In this review we discuss the relationship between uric acid and fructose as a novel mechanism for the development of diabetic tubular injury.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the associations between urine uric acid excretion (UUAE) and diabetic retinopathy (DR)/lower limb atherosclerotic lesions in hospitalized Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS This cross-sectional study was conducted in 2529 hospitalized Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. UUAE was determined enzymatically using a single 24-h urine collection. The subjects were stratified into quartile based on UUAE levels. DR was determined by digital fundus photography. Lower limb atherosclerotic lesions were assessed by Doppler ultrasound. Both DR and lower limb atherosclerosis were compared among the UUAE quartile groups, respectively. RESULTS There was a significant decrease in the prevalence of DR in patients across the UUAE quartiles after adjustment for sex, age and diabetic duration (35.0%, 30.7%, 26.1%, and 21.5%, respectively, p = 0.000001 for trend). A fully adjusted multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that UUAE quartiles were markedly inversely associated with the presence of DR (p = 0.030). The prevalence of lower limb plaque (73.9% vs. 62.6%, p = 0.000044) and stenosis (16.3% vs. 9.7%, p = 0.000015) was markedly higher in the diabetics with DR than in those without DR. However, there was no statistical association between the UUAE and lower limb atherosclerotic lesions in type 2 diabetes. CONCLUSIONS Decreased UUAE was an independent risk factor for DR but not for lower limb atherosclerosis in hospitalized Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. In selected populations, such as those with type 2 diabetes, the role of uric acid in atherosclerosis may be result from other concomitantly atherosclerotic risk factors, such as DR.

Abstract
High dietary fructose is an important causative factor in the development of metabolic syndrome-associated glomerular podocyte oxidative stress and injury. Here, we identified microRNA-377 (miR-377) as a biomarker of oxidative stress in renal cortex of fructose-fed rats, which correlated with podocyte injury and albuminuria in metabolic syndrome. Fructose feeding increased miR-377 expression, decreased superoxide dismutase (SOD) expression and activity, and caused O2(-) and H2O2 overproduction in kidney cortex or glomeruli of rats. This reactive oxygen species induction increased p38 MAPK phosphorylation and thioredoxin-interacting protein (TXNIP) expression and activated the NOD-like receptor pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome to produce interleukin-1β in kidney glomeruli of fructose-fed rats. These pathological processes were further evaluated in cultured differentiated podocytes exposed to 5mM fructose, or transfected with miR-377 mimic/inhibitor and TXNIP siRNA, or co-incubated with p38 MAPK inhibitor, demonstrating that miR-377 overexpression activates the O2(-)/p38 MAPK/TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway to promote oxidative stress and inflammation in fructose-induced podocyte injury. Antioxidants pterostilbene and allopurinol were found to ameliorate fructose-induced hyperuricemia, podocyte injury, and albuminuria in rats. More importantly, pterostilbene and allopurinol inhibited podocyte miR-377 overexpression to increase SOD1 and SOD2 levels and suppress the O2(-)/p38 MAPK/TXNIP/NLRP3 inflammasome pathway activation in vivo and in vitro, consistent with the reduction of oxidative stress and inflammation. These findings suggest that miR-377 plays an important role in glomerular podocyte oxidative stress, inflammation, and injury driven by high fructose. Inhibition of miR-377 by antioxidants may be a promising therapeutic strategy for the prevention of metabolic syndrome-associated glomerular podocyte injury.

Cardiovasc Diabetol 2015; 14:36.

Abstract
Background The associations between urine uric acid excretion (UUAE) and chronic kidney disease (CKD)/atherosclerosis have not been investigated. Our aims were to investigate the relationships between UUAE and CKD and carotid atherosclerotic lesions in hospitalized Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods This was a cross-sectional study that was conducted with 2627 Chinese inpatients with type 2 diabetes. UUAE was determined enzymatically using a single 24-h urine collection. The subjects were stratified into quartiles according to their UUAE levels. Carotid atherosclerotic lesions, including carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), plaque and stenosis, were assessed by Doppler ultrasound. Both CKD and carotid atherosclerotic lesions were compared between the UUAE quartile groups. Results After adjustment for confounding factors, there was a significant decrease in the prevalence of CKD in the patients with type 2 diabetes across the UUAE quartiles (16.9%, 8.5%, 5.9%, and 4.9%; p < 0.001). Multiple logistic regression analyses revealed that the UUAE quartiles were significantly and inversely associated with the presence of CKD (p < 0.001). Compared with the diabetics in the highest UUAE quartile, those in the lowest quartile exhibited a nearly 4.2-fold increase in the risk of CKD (95% CI: 2.272-7.568; p < 0.001). The CIMT value (0.91 ± 0.22 mm for the diabetics with CKD and 0.82 ± 0.20 mm for the diabetics without CKD, p = 0.001) and the prevalence of carotid plaques (62.1% for the diabetics with CKD and 41.8% for the diabetics without CKD, p = 0.025) were significantly higher in the diabetics with CKD than in those without CKD. However, there was no obvious difference in carotid atherosclerotic lesions across the UUAE quartiles after controlling for the confounding factors. Conclusions Decreased UUAE was closely associated with the presence of CKD but not with carotid atherosclerotic lesions in hospitalized Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes. Our results suggest that UUAE is an independent risk factor for CKD in type 2 diabetes. In selected populations, such as patient with type 2 diabetes, the role of uric acid in atherosclerosis might be the result of other concomitant atherosclerotic risk factors, such as CKD.

Abstract
AIM We statistically investigated whether the impact of cardiovascular risk factors on arterial stiffness would be different from that on arterial wall thickness. METHODS We analyzed 1648 Japanese type 2 diabetic patients. Arterial stiffness was evaluated by pulse wave verbosity (PWV) and wall thickness was assessed with carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) by ultrasonography. We developed a common regression model to PWV and IMT by extending the linear mixed model and statistically detected the difference in the impact of cardiovascular risk factors between the two indices. RESULTS There was a significant correlation between PWV and IMT (r=0.365, p < 0.001). Sex, diabetic duration, hemoglobin A1c levels, and the presence of retinopathy and cardiovascular disease were comparable independent risk factors for elevated PWV and IMT. On the other hand, the impact of age, systolic blood pressure, and low- and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels were significantly different between the two measurements (all p < 0.05). Cholesterol levels were significantly associated with IMT but not with PWV. Age and systolic blood pressure had a significant impact on both measurements, but the impact on PWV was significantly greater than that on IMT. Indeed, patients with low IMT but with advanced age and high systolic pressure had high PWV, whereas patients with low PWV but with impaired cholesterol levels had high IMT. CONCLUSION The extended linear mixed model statistically confirmed that the impact of cardiovascular risk factors on elevated PWV and IMT were not identical in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the long-term effective control of serum uric acid by allopurinol on the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and asymptomatic hyperuricemia (HUA). METHODS This was a randomized open parallel-controlled study. In this study, 176 patients with T2DM and asymptomatic HUA were randomly allocated to the conventional or allopurinol treatment groups on the basis of a computer-generated random number table. Changes in the carotid IMT, biochemical indexes, high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the incidence of hypertension in patients before and after three years of treatment were examined and compared between the groups. RESULTS There were no statistically significant differences in the baseline characteristics of the study participants between the two treatment groups (p>0.05 for all). Nevertheless, the serum uric acid, triglyceride, and hs-CRP levels and the homeostasis assessment for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and the carotid IMT in the allopurinol group were significantly lower than those in the conventional group after three years of treatment (p<0.01 for all). The intention-to-treat analysis indicated that the incidence of new-onset hypertension in the allopurinol group showed a declining trend compared to that in the conventional treatment group (6.8% vs. 13.6%, p>0.05). CONCLUSION The long-term effective control of serum uric acid by allopurinol may improve insulin resistance, decrease the serum levels of hs-CRP, reduce the carotid IMT, and may delay the development of atherosclerosis in patients with T2DM and asymptomatic HUA.
