Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relationship between carotid artery intima-media thickness and renal function in patients with diabetes mellitus.Methods 424 patients of type 2 diabetes without dialysis were enrolled in a cross-sectional study.According to their artery intima-media thickness (IMT),the patients were divided into normal group and higher IMT group.All patients according to UAER or 24h urinary protein were divided into normal proteinuria group,micro-proteinuria group and clinical proteinuria group.The biochemical examination,eGFR,and atherosclerotic plaque of different groups were compared.Pearson or spearman correlation was used to analyze the relationship between eGFR,IMT and other parameters.Risk factors for eGFR decline were analyzed by binary logistic regression.Results Compared with normal group,patients in the higher IMT group were older [(63.3±10.2) year vs (52.5 ± 10.6) year,P < 0.05],and underwent longer duration of diabetes [(8.9±6.7) year vs (6.2±5.7) year,P < 0.05].Their level of eGFR was decreased [(75.92±28.00) ml/min vs (91.64±24.05) ml/ min,P < 0.05],while plaque incidence (71.3% vs 18.3%,x2=112.42,P < 0.01) and prevalence of hypertension (56.4% vs 29.6%,x2=27.22,P < 0.01) increased.Correlation analysis showed that IMT was positively correlated with age (r=0.503,P < 0.01),duration of diabetes (r=0.204,P < 0.01),24 h urine protein (rs=0.175,P < 0.05),plaque (rs=0.562,P < 0.01),and hypertension (rs=0.193,P < 0.01),but negatively correlated with eGFR (r=-0.307,P < 0.01).Logistic regression analysis showed that age,serum uric acid,24 h urine protein and carotid artery intima-media thickness were independent risk factors for eGFR decline [OR=1.115,95%CI(1.053,1.165),P < 0.001;OR=1.008,95%CI (1.002,1.014),P=0.006;OR=1.492,95% CI(1.170,1.903),P=0.001;OR=1.619,95% CI(1.121,2.339),P=0.010].Conclusion Carotid artery intima-media thickness is an independent risk factor for kidney function decline in patients of diabetes.
