Incidence of overt proteinuria and coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus: the role of microalbuminuria and retinopathy

Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice

Abstract

The 5-year incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and progression to overt proteinuria was investigated in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus who had microalbuminuria with (MA+R group, n=93) or without (MA-R group, n=138) diabetic retinopathy. The rate of progression to overt proteinuria was higher in the MA+R group than in the MA-R group. The MA-R group had more components of metabolic syndrome than the MA+R and normoalbuminuric (NA, n=205) groups. The MA-R group had a higher 5-year incidence of CAD than the NA group. The incidence of CAD tended to be higher in the MA-R group than in the MA+R group, but statistical significance was not reached. The present study shows that patients with diabetic retinopathy and microalbuminuria represent a group with incipient diabetic nephropathy having higher risk for progression to overt proteinuria. On the other hand, patients with microalbuminuria and no retinopathy may represent a group with characteristics of metabolic syndrome.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.

Cardiovascular Inflammation

Inflammation plays a significant role in the development of cardiovascular diseases, an understanding of these endogenous processes is critical for evaluating the risks and potential treatment strategies. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular inflammation here.
