Objective To assess the therapeutic effect of sulodexide for diabetic patients with early nephropathy. Methods A total of 60 patients with early diabetic nephropathy (albuminuria: 30 to 300 mg/24 h, male/female: 30/30, mean age: 51.23 years, mean course of disease: 12.9 years) were randomized equally into three groups: the routine treatment group, cozaar group (50 mg qd, po for 12 weeks) and sulodexid group (600 LSU qd, iv or im for 4 weeks, 250 LSU bid, po for 8 weeks). The levels of urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER), urea nitrogen and creatinine were determined. Results After three months of treatment, the level of UAER was decreased significantly in both the sulodexide group and cozaar group (Plt;0.01), but not in the routine treatment group (Pgt;0.05). The level of UAER was reduced by 34.04% and 33.62% in the cozaar group and the sulodexide group, respectively. Significant difference was noted in the level of UAER between the cozaar/sulodexide groups and the routine treatment group (Plt;0.01), but no significant difference was observed between cozaar group and sulodexide group (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion Sulodexide could decrease the level of UAER in patients with early diabetic nephropathy. It has similar efficacy to cozaar.
Objective To formulate an evidence-based treatment plan for a patient with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria. Methods According to the patient’s clinical conditions, we put forward 5 clinical problems. We searched the Cochrane Library (Issue 4, 2005), ACP Journal Club (1991 to 2005), and MEDLINE (1991 to 2005) databases. Systematic review, meta-analysis and randomized controlled trials about the treatment of diabetic nephropathy were included. The treatment plan was developed accordingly. Results Thirteen eligible studies were included. Evidence indicated that an intensive intervention aimed at the multiple potential risk factors could be applied to delay or prevent the progression of diabetic nephropathy, which included intensive blood glucose control, tight blood-pressure control, lipid modulation, restriction of protein intake and smoking cessation. The individualized treatment plan was based on the high quality evidence as well as the patient’s specific condition. The patient is still being followed-up. Conclusion Interventions for risk factors of type 2 diabetes like changing living style, decreasing serum glucose, blood pressure, and level of blood fat help to release the clinical symptom and better the long-term living quality of patients.
目的:探讨老年原发性高血压(EH)患者早期肾损害指标微量白蛋白尿(MAU)和动脉粥样硬化的早期征象颈动脉内中膜厚度(C-IMT)之间的关系。方法:99名老年EH患者按尿白蛋白/肌酐比值(ACR)分为异常ACR组和正常ACR组,对两组的C-IMT、斑块发生率、ACR水平及血中尿素氮(Bun)、肌酐(Cr)、总胆固醇(TC)、甘油三酯(TG)、血糖(Glu)、体重指数(BMI)等进行分析和比较。结果:异常ACR组的年龄、尿酸、ACR、C-IMT、24小时平均收缩压,平均动脉压及脉压均高于正常ACR组(Plt;0.05);且C-IMT与ACR水平呈正相关(Plt;0.05)。结论:微量白蛋白尿和颈动脉IMT密切相关,提示微量白蛋白尿不仅和老年高血压肾脏病变有关,也是亚临床期动脉粥样硬化的早期标志.
摘要:目的: 研究尿微量白蛋白与冠心病的相关性。 方法 : 按冠状动脉造影诊断标准将116例患者分为冠心病组(82人) 与非冠心病组(34人),测定晨尿白蛋白/ 肌酐浓度值(ACR),比较两组患者尿ACR 并分析ACR与冠脉病变程度的相关性。 结果 : 冠心病组ACR显著高于非冠心病组的; ACR与冠脉计分呈显著的直线正相关。 结论 :冠心病患者ACR水平升高,微量白蛋白尿与冠状动脉病变范围和程度密切相关, 且对冠状动脉狭窄程度具有独立预测价值。Abstract: Objective: To investigate the relationship between microalbuminuria and coronary artery disease(CAD). Methods : According to the diagnostic standard of coronary artery angiography,116 patients were divided into CAD group (82 patients) and nonCAD group (34 patients). The albumin and creatinine concentrationratio ratio(ACR) in morning urine samples from patients of both groups was estimated and compared. The correlation of ACR to the extent of coronary lesions was analyzed. Results : ACR in the CAD group was significantly higher than that in nonCAD group. A distinctly linear positive correlation existed between ACR and the score of the coronary lesions. Conclusion : ACR increase in patients with CHD.Micoalbuminuria was associated with the severity of coronary lesions in patients with CHD and is an independent predictor of CAD.
目的选择能够早期反映同种异体原位肝移植术后他克莫司(FK506)对患者肾功能损伤的灵敏指标。方法回顾性分析我院自2000年2月至2005年5月的15例肾功能正常的肝移植患者的临床资料，重点分析其尿α1微球蛋白（α1MG）和微量白蛋白（mAlb）以及血肌肝（Cr）和尿素氮(BUN)与FK506血药浓度之间的关系。结果15例肝脏移植患者，尿α1MG及mAlb含量与FK506血药浓度呈正相关（r=0.939,P＜0.005; r=0.893, P＜0.05）， 血Cr及BUN与FK506血药浓度无相关性(r=0.490,Pgt;0.05； r=0.382,Pgt;0.05)。结论尿α1MG和mAlb可作为反映肾功能损伤的早期的灵敏指标，有利于监测肝移植术后FK506的理想全血浓度，能够为临床早期诊断和治疗肾功能损伤提供参考指标。
ObjectiveTo discuss the relationship between microalbuminuria (MAU) and antioxidant activity of plasma hyper density lipoprotein (HDL) in hypertensive patients, and investigate whether MAU could be a predictor of HDL antioxidant activity. MethodFrom December 2007 to March 2009, sixty consecutive primary hypertensive patients from the inpatient and outpatient departments of West China Hospital and Sichuan Electric Power Central Hospital were included in the study, and 30 healthy volunteers served as controls. MAU, plasma HDL and paraoxonase (PON1) activity were tested. ResultsPON1 activity was lower in hypertensive patients than the controls (P<0.05), and this degree of decline was positively related to MAU (P<0.05). ConclusionMAU reflects PON1 activity in hypertensive patients and can be a predictor to judge plasma HDL function in patients with hypertension.
ObjectiveTo observe and evaluate the predictive value of serum cystatin C (Cys-C) on the risk of sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy (STDR). MethodsA non-randomized controlled cross-sectional clinical study. Ninety-two patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were admitted to Department of Ophthalmology of Beijing Tsinghua Changgung Hospital from January 2022 to October 2022 were included in the study. Among them, 50 were male, 42 cases were female, with the mean age of (58.24±12.49) years. The mean duration of T2DM was (13.18±8.35) years, of which 38 cases had a duration of ≥10 years. Twenty-nine cases complicated with hypertension, of which 16 cases had a duration of ≥10 years. Seventeen cases complicated with chronic kidney disease stage 2 and 23 cases were treated with lipid-lowering drugs. Hemoglobin Alc, serum Cys-C, serum lipids and renal function were tested, and urinary microalbumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) was calculated. According to the 2003 American Academy of Ophthalmology "Clinical Guidelines for Diabetic Retinopathy (DR)" and international clinical DR severity grading standards, the patients were divided into STDR and non-STDR groups, with 44 and 48 cases in each group, respectively. STDR was defined as severe non-proliferative DR, proliferative DR, and macular edema. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent risk factors of STDR in T2DM patients. Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC curve) was used to calculate and analyze the area under ROC curve (AUC) and the predictive value of serum Cys-C and ACR in predicting STDR in T2DM patients. ResultsSerum Cys-C levels in STDR and non-STDR groups were 1.10 (0.94, 1.28) and 0.91 (0.83, 1.02) mg/L, respectively, with ACR of 4.29 (1.05, 21.89) and 1.39 (0.77, 3.80) mg/mmol, respectively. Compared with non-STDR group, serum Cys-C and ACR in STDR group were higher, and the difference was statistically significant (Z=－3.984, －3.280; P＜0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that serum Cys-C was an independent risk factor for STDR (odds ratio=1.337, 95% confidence interval 1.145-2.090, P=0.033), and the risk of STDR increased by 33.7% for every 0.1 mg/L increase in serum Cys-C. ROC analysis results showed that serum Cys-C＞1.065 mg/L combined with ACR＞5.84 mg/mmol predicted the AUC of STDR in T2DM patients was 0.661, with the specificity of 95.8%. ConclusionsThe high serum Cys-C level is an independent risk factor for STDR in T2DM patients. Serum Cys-C has high predictive value for the occurrence of STDR.
