Abstract
Approximately 24-40% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) develop kidney damage. Our objective was to evaluate the long-term evolution of renal function using isotopic determination of GFR and urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in patients with T2DM undergoing intensive treatment for renal and cardiovascular risk factors. This was a single-center, prospective study of 201 patients with T2DM and UAE who initiated intensive treatment. They were followed for 17.2±6.5 years. Patients were divided into three groups, according to renal function: 167(85.6%) had stable renal function, 16(8.2%) had creatinine levels that doubled and 12(6.2%) began renal replacement therapy (RRT). We performed periodic isotopic determinations of GFR using (125)I-iothalamate. There were significant differences between the three groups with respect to age, duration of T2DM at baseline, years of follow-up in the study and systolic blood pressure, serum creatinine, isotopic GFR, and UAE at baseline. Renal function evolution slopes were -1.55mL/min/1.73m(2)/year in patients with stable creatinine, -2.49mL/min/1.73m(2)/year in those with doubled creatinine, and -8.16mL/min/1.73m(2)/year in those requiring RRT. We also found that differences in renal e...Continue Reading
