Abstract
Recent studies suggest that chronic inflammatory responses are important in the development of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Various inflammatory and angiogenesis molecules affect the pathogenesis and progression of DN. Inflammation damages the microcirculation and causes kidney damage. In the present study, we studied changes in interleukin-8 (IL-8) and soluble tumor necrosis factor-like weak inducer of apoptosis (sTWEAK) levels in patients with DN, and investigated the clinical significance of these two inflammatory factors. Participants were categorized into healthy controls (n = 30) and patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (n = 124). The type 2 diabetes mellitus group was further subdivided into the normoalbuminuria (n = 34), microalbuminuria (MAU; n = 46,) and proteinuria (MaAU; n = 44,) groups. Patients with DN were included in the MAU and MaAU groups. Total cholesterol, triglyceride, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, 2-h postprandial blood glucose, blood urea nitrogen, serum creatinine, 24-h urine microalbumin, IL-8 and sTWEAK levels were measured. Logistic regression was used to analyze the factors associated with proteinuria. In the healthy controls, normoalbuminuria, M...Continue Reading
