Abstract: Urinary sodium was measured by means of 24-hour urine collection in 186 patients with type 2 diabetes.All patients were categorized into quartiles of urinary sodium.There was a significant positive trend of association of greater carotid intima-media thickness(CIMT) with increasing urinary sodium quartile,even adjusting for age,smoking,and blood pressure (Ptrend＜0.01).Multiple linear regression analysis showed that 24-hour urinary excretion may be associated with CIMT in type 2 diabetes patients (β=0.074,P＜0.01).
