Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the diagnostic value of triglyceride/cystatin C (TG/Cys-C) ratio combined with diabetic retinopathy, diabetes course and systolic pressure in patients with diabetic kidney disease (DKD).Methods:Patients with type 2 diabetes and renal insufficiency, who underwent renal biopsy in four Grade A tertiary hospitals in Xuzhou from January 2013 to February 2021 were included in this retrospective study. Patients were divided into DKD group ( n=51) and non-DKD (NDKD) group ( n=49) based on renal biopsy results. Another 50 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus without renal dysfunction were selected as control group. The first admission information and blood biochemical indexes were collected, and the TG/Cys-C ratio was calculated. The differences of clinical indexes between the DKD and NDKD groups were compared. The correlative factors of DKD in type 2 diabetes patients with renal dysfunction were analyzed by logistic regression. The ROC curve was used to evaluate the diagnostic value of TG/Cys-C ratio, diabetic retinopathy, duration of diabetes, systolic blood pressure and combined detection for DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes and renal dysfunction. Results:Among patients with type 2 diabetes with renal dysfunction, renal biopsy results showed that membranous nephropathy was the most common pathological type in NDKD group, accounting for 63.3% (31/49) of all NDKD patients. Compared with Type 2 diabetes mellitus without renal injury, type 2 diabetic patients with kidney injury had higher systolic blood pressure, higher total cholesterol, higher low-density lipoprotein, higher cystatin, higher creatinine, higher uric acid, higher fibrinogen level, more hypertension, more changes of urinary active sediment, lower hemoglobin, lower albumin, and the lower the glomerular filtration rate (all P<0.05). Compared with NDKD group, patients in DKD group had higher systolic and diastolic blood pressure, higher cystatin C and creatinine, more hypertension, more diabetic retinopathy, longer course of diabetes, lower concentration of hemoglobin, lower glomerular filtration rate, lower triglyceride and lower TG/Cys-C ratio (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that TG/Cys-C ratio was associated with DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and renal impairment ( OR=0.298, P=0.007), diabetic retinopathy ( OR=12.209, P=0.005), duration of diabetes ( OR=1.016, P=0.034) and systolic blood pressure ( OR=1.049, P=0.006) were independent risk factors for DKD in type 2 diabetic patients with renal dysfunction. The ROC curve showed that AUC of the TG/Cys-C ratio was 0.866 (the cot-off point was 2.06), and the sensitivity was 88.2% and the specificity was 71.4% for the diagnosis of DKD, and AUC of the TG/Cys-C ratio in combination with diabetic retinopathy, diabetes duration and systolic blood pressure was 0.952, and the sensitivity was 92.2% and the specificity was 89.8% for the diagnosis of DKD. Conclusion:TG/Cys-C ratio has significant clinical value in the diagnosis of DKD. Combined detection of TG/Cys-C ratio with diabetic retinopathy, course of diabetes and systolic blood pressure could further improve the diagnostic efficacy of DKD.
