Abstract

Background: Analyzing urinary biomarkers may provide better insight into pathophysio-logical mechanisms of diabetic kidney diseases. The study aimed to analyze the pattern of selected excreted urinary biomarkers and its correlation with albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: A total of 185 patients with type 2 diabetes were categorized according to KDIGO guideline based on albuminuria and eGFR. The urinary markers (transferrin, KIM-1, RBP, MCP-1 and NGAL) were measured by ELISA. Results: The urinary markers were associated with eGFR (total protein/Cr, p=0.001; RBP/ Cr, p=0.007; MCP-1/Cr, p=0.023; NGAL/Cr, p=0.011) and albuminuria (total protein/Cr, p<0.001; transferrin, p<0.001; RBP/Cr, p<0.001; MCP-1/Cr, p<0.001; NGAL/Cr, p=0.002). Conclusion: The urinary marker levels (total protein, RBP, MCP-1, and NGAL) are elevated with severity of kidney damage and expressed more in progressive renal impairment.
