Risk factors of chronic kidney disease among type 2 diabetic patients with longer duration of diabetes

Abstract

BackgroundChronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the major cause of end stage renal disease, characterized by proteinuria with a subsequent decline in glomerular filtration rate. Although hyperglycemia is the major risk factor for the development and progression of kidney disease among diabetic patients, many other risk factors also contribute to structural and functional changes in the kidneys. As recommended by Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO), CKD classification based on cause and severity, links to risk of adverse outcomes including mortality and kidney outcomes.ObjectiveThe aim of this study is to investigate the involvement of risk factors associated with the severity of CKD among participants with longer duration of diabetes. This study also aims to find whether number of risk factors vary among risk of CKD progression categories based on KDIGO classification.Material and methodsThis cross-sectional study retrospectively selected 424 participants from type 2 diabetic cohort and categorized them based on the classifications for the diagnosis of kidney diseases in patients with diabetes, according to the KDIGO guidelines. Odds ratios and 95% CI of each risk factors according to severity of renal disease were determined.ResultsBased on KDIGO classification, participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) were categorized in to low risk (n=174); moderately increased risk (n=98); and high/very high risk (n=152). Type 2 diabetic participants with risk factors such as, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, DM duration ≥15 years and diabetic retinopathy showed a high/very high risk of CKD progression when compared with low-risk category. While T2D participants with risk factors such as, lack of exercise, hypertension, and diabetic retinopathy showed a moderately increased risk of CKD progression. In addition, participants with highest number of risk factors were significantly distributed among high/very high risk of CKD progression category.ConclusionThis study findings conclude that patients with T2DM and duration of ≥15 years, hyperlipidemia, hypertension and diabetic retinopathy have an increased prevalence of advanced CKD. In addition to this, increased number of risk factors could be an indicator of the severity of CKD in T2D.

An overview of artificial intelligence use in diabetic retinopathy treatment: a narrative review

“…This method detected 332 out of 340 test images concerning optic disc localization, yielding a detection success percentage of 97.65%. On 112 out of the 340 test photos, the approach correctly located the borders of the optic disc, yielding a detection of 94.54% success rate for the optic disc boundary and 97.06% for the macular region [43,44].…”

Development of Serum Lactate Level-Based Nomograms for Predicting Diabetic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

“…Traditional factors such as longer duration of T2DM, hypertension, and metabolic perturbations (eg, chronic hyperglycemia, hyperuricemia, high triglyceride levels) are well-known risk factors for DKD occurrence. 23 , 24 With the advent of metabolomics, different metabolic substrates and products are detected, facilitating the identification of key biomarkers characterizing metabolic diseases. 25 , 26 Consequently, new biomarkers aiding in the diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic effects of DKD have been widely developed.…”

Chronic Kidney Disease Induced by Cadmium and Diabetes: A Quantitative Case-Control Study

“…In the general Japanese population, E β2M /E cr combined with macroalbuminuria was a predictor of a high-rate of eGFR deterioration [52]. Among diabetic patients, those with a DM duration ≥15 years plus hypertension had a high-to-very high risk of CKD progression [53]. Data from the Framingham Heart Study (n = 7065) have linked higher plasma β 2 M levels to an increased risk of prevalent and incident hypertension [54].…”
