Abstract:
Objective To study the effect of atorvastatin on serum cystatin C and urinary microprotein in patients with early diabetic nephropathy (DN).Methods Sixty-eight cases of early DN were divided into control group and observation group with 34 cases each by random digits table,the control group was treated with the conventional treatment,the observation group was treated with atorvastatin on the basis of conventional treatment,then blood lipids,serum cystatin C,urinary albumin excretion rate (UAER),microalbuminuria( MAU ),α1-microglobulin(MG),β 2-MG between the two groups were compared.Results After intervention,the levels of total cholesterol (TC),triacylglycerol (TG),serum cystatin C,UAER,MAU,αt 1-MG,β 2-MG were significantly decreased compared with those before treatment in the observation group [ (4.32 ± 1.26) mmol/L vs.(5.65 ± 1.38 ) mmol/L,( 1.67 ± 0.64) mmol/L vs.(2.53 ± 0.96 ) mmol/L,( 1.29 ± 0.38 ) mg/L vs.( 1.74 ± 0.51 ) mg/L,(61.09 ± 18.45 ) μ g/min vs.( 86.42 ± 21.34) μ g/min,( 5.73 ±4.81) mg/L vs.(23.16 ±9.73) mg/L,(1.41 ± 1.21) mg/L vs.(4.76 ± 1.24) mg/L,(1.21 ±0.13) mg/L vs.(2.58 ± 0.26) mg/L ] (P ＜ 0.01 or ＜ 0.05 ).In the control group,the levels of TC,TG,serum cystatin C were lower than those before treatment,but there were no significant differences (P＞0.05),but the levels of UAER,MAU,α 1-MG,β 2-MG had significant differences compared with those before treatment (P ＜ 0.01or ＜ 0.05 ) and the same time of the observation group (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusion Atorvastatin can significantly reduce serum cystatin C and urinary micro-protein levels in patients with early DN,which plays an important role in kidney protection.
