PAI-1 and D-Dimer in Type 2 Diabetic Women With Asymptomatic Macrovascular Disease Assessed by Carotid Doppler

Abstract: Asymptomatic diabetic patients with different degrees of macrovascular complications can present different hemostatic changes. At this study, plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and D-dimer were evaluated in 12 women without diabetes and 64 type 2 diabetic women. All patients were classified into 3 different categories according to the carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) assessed by Doppler: 25 with <1 mm (normal), 15 with >1 mm and without plaque (intermediate), and 24 with stenosis lower than 50% of t… Show more

“…There is a known relationship between the progression of nephropathy and an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in both DM1 and DM2 [ 32 , 33 ]. Elevated levels of VWF and D-Dimer are also associated with the development of cardiovascular disease [ 34 , 35 ]. Since this is not a prospective study, patients were not followed up for cardiovascular events.…”

“…It is a classic hypercoagulability biomarker, useful in the diagnosis of thromboembolic events (8). There is an association between D-Dimer levels with the development of atherothrombosis and cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes, indicating that D-Dimer can be useful in evaluating the risk of cardiovascular disease in these patients (8)(9)(10). D-Dimer levels also increase with the progression of renal disease in patients with diabetes, indicating that hypercoagulability could be a link between diabetic kidney disease and the increased risk of cardiovascular outcomes (11)(12)(13)(14).…”

“…Since the publication of these initial studies, a considerable number of additional observational studies have been published, with many, but not all, reporting associations of PAI-1 with T2D 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 . To our knowledge, however, no attempt has been made to consolidate and synthesize the available epidemiological literature on this topic in the form of a systematic review and meta-analysis.…”
