Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the correlation between serum remnant cholesterol(RC)and diabetic kidney disease(DKD)in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods:The elderly patients with T2DM who were hospitalized in the Department of Geriatrics of the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from January 2021 to March 2022 were selected and divided into simple diabetes group(410 cases)and DKD group(433 cases). The general clinical data and laboratory data were collected and the RC level was calculated.Spearman rank correlation was used to analyze the correlation between RC level and metabolic indicators.Logistic regression was used to analyze the correlation between serum RC level and the risk of DKD.Results:Compared with the simple diabetes group, patients in the DKD group had older age, longer duration of diabetes, higher levels of systolic blood pressure(SBP), fasting C-peptide, triglyceride(TG), uric acid(UA), serum creatinine, urinary albumin/creatinine ratio(UACR)and RC, and lower levels of albumin, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C)and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR)( P<0.05 for all). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that serum RC level was positively correlated with body mass index(BMI)( r=0.069, P=0.046), fasting blood glucose( r=0.099, P=0.004), glycosylated hemoglobin(HbA1c)( r=0.075, P=0.031), fasting C-peptide( r=0.177, P<0.001), TG( r=0.632, P<0.001), total cholesterol(TC)( r=0.306, P<0.001), low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)( r=0.243, P<0.001), UA( r=0.128, P<0.001), serum creatinine( r=0.086, P=0.013)and UACR( r=0.147, P<0.001), and was negatively correlated with HDL-C( r=-0.271, P<0.001)and eGFR( r=-0.148, P<0.001). Logistic regression analysis showed that high serum RC level was a risk factor for DKD(Q1 as reference; Q2: OR=2.439, 95% CI: 0.836-7.113, P=0.103; Q3: OR=3.999, 95% CI: 1.187-13.478, P=0.025). Conclusions:High serum RC level is closely related to DKD in elderly patients with T2DM, and is a risk factor for DKD.
