Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between the variability of blood uric acid level and the progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy.Methods:A total of 240 patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy were selected from a cohort established in Pinggu District Hospital of Beijing in 2015 for retrospective analysis. The blood uric acid level of the patients was measured, the variability of uric acid level was calculated, and the patients were divided into group A, group B, group C and group D according to the quartile of uric acid variability, with 60 cases in each group. The subjects were followed up, and their general information, biochemical indicators, diabetic nephropathy and diabetic retinopathy were collected. According to the diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy during follow-up, the subjects were divided into progressive group and non-progressive group, so as to further clarify the correlation between the variability of blood uric acid level and the progression of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy.Results:Up to the last follow-up date in July 2022, a total of 24 cases were lost to follow-up in group A, 27 cases in group B, 20 cases in group C, and 22 cases in group D. Finally, 36 cases were included in group A, 33 cases in group B, 40 cases in group C, and 38 cases in group D. There was no significant difference in age, gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein cholesterol, fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin and serum creatinine among four groups ( P>0.05). Univariate analysis showed that the incidence of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy progression increased with the increase of the quartile of uric acid variability in patients with type 2 diabetes (the incidences of progression in A, B, C and D groups were 16%, 49%, 63% and 79%, F = 0.95, P<0.05). Pearson correlation analysis showed that blood uric acid variability was positively correlated with the progression of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy ( r = 0.482 and 0.501, P<0.05). Logistics regression analysis showed that with the increase of the quartile of uric acid variability, the progression risk of diabetic nephropathy ( OR = 3.521, 5.226 and 6.548; P<0.05) and retinopathy ( OR = 3.733, 4.844 and 5.872; P<0.05) in type 2 diabetes patients increased gradually. Conclusions:The variability of blood uric acid level is positively correlated with the progression of type 2 diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy. The higher the risk of progression of diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy with the increase of quartile of blood uric acid level variability, the more important it is to regularly monitor the blood uric acid level of type 2 diabetic patients.
