Abstract

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). 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). 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) an...Continue Reading

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.
