Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of serum free fatty acids (FFA) and urine podocalyxin (PCX) in the patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy(DN).Methods A total of 120 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) were enrolled,and they were divided into three groups,normal albumin group(NA),microalbuminuria group(MA) and heavy albuminuria group(HA),based on the urinary albumin-creatinine ratio(UACR).In addition,40 healthy persons participated in medical examination were selected as the control group.Serum FFA levels were detected by a biochemical analyzer and urine PCX levels by ELISA.The correlation between them was analyzed by Pearson correlation,and their diagnostic values in type 2 DN were evaluated by the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC).Results Serum FFA levels in the NA,MA,HA and control groups were (0.61 ± 0.14),(0.81 ± 0.13),(0.95 ± 0.18) and (0.49 ± 0.11) mmol/L,respectively,and urine PCX levels were (1.86 ± 0.45),(4.47 ± 1.48),(6.72 ± 1.40)and(1.38 ±0.24) ng/mL,respectively.The levels of serum FFA and urine PCX in type 2 DM patients were significantly higher than those in the control group(P ＜ 0.05),and increased with the progression of type 2 DM.Pearson correlation analysis showed that serum FFA levels were positively correlated with urine PCX levels(r =0.73,P ＜ 0.05).The sensitivity of serum FFA,urine PCX and combined detection in the diagnosis of type 2 DN were 74.1％,80.6％ and 89.5％,respectively,and the latter significantly higher than the former two (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Serum FFA and urine PCX levels increase significantly in diabetic patients with renal injury,and both of them have important clinical values in the diagnosis of type 2 DN.
