Anticardiolipin Antibodies in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: Background:There is controversy about an increased prevalence of antiphospholipid antibodies in diabetic patients. The possible implications are little known. Methods:We prospectively studied all consecutive outpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) attended to in an Internal Medicine office. IgM and IgG anticardiolipin antibodies (ACA) were determined by standardized enzyme-linked immunoassay.Results: Fifty-six patients were included. Only one patient (1.8%) had a titer of IgM ACA higher than 15 MPL unit… Show more

“…While there is an association between T1DM and anticardiolipin antibodies, this has not been the case for T2DM. 94 Further studies will need to determine if patients with DMI have a high prevalence of anticardiolipin antibodies.…”

“…Several studies have attempted to explore the relationship between these two conditions primarily by investigating the prevalence of aPL in populations of diabetic patients, both insulin dependent and independent. [65][66][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81] Although some studies reported higher aPL titers in association with diabetes, other studies failed to replicate this data. Moreover, some researchers have linked the presence of aPL in the sera of diabetic patients to macrovascular diabetic complications.…”

“…[20] According to the study of Galtier-Dereure et al, [21] uncomplicated diabetes was not associated with APL antibodies; whereas phospholipid-binding antibodies correlated with macroangiopathy or nephropathy. Palomo et al [22] and Calvo-Romero et al [3] observed that these antibodies in diabetic pa-tients were not correlated with vasccular complications. Mohammed et al [23] reported higher anticardiolipin IgG and IgM antibodies in type 1 diabetic children, especially recent-onset diabetes, compared to healthy controls.…”

“…Previous data reflect controversy about the prevalance of these antibodies in diabetes mellitus and the possible implications. [3] It has been suggested that antiphospholipid antibodies directed against endothelial antigens could be responsible for vascular injury. There is a pathological shift from an antithrombotic to a thrombotic state even in the early phases of diabetes.…”
