This study aimed to explore whether SUA was a predictor of microalbuminuria and impaired renal function in type 2 diabetes in Chinese patients. Methods This cross-sectional study included 2108 type 2 diabetic patients. Kidney function was estimated using the simplified modification of diet in renal disease （MDRD） equation to obtain estimated glomerular filtration rate. The urine samples were obtained for measuring the albumin-to-creatinine ratio （ACR）. Results According to the ACR level, these patients were divided into two groups, normal ACR （NA） and non-normal ACR （non-NA）. Both SUA and creatinine were significantly higher in the non-NA group than those in the NA group （（318.89±107.52） vs. （283.44±88.64） pmol/L, and （95.08±53.24） vs. （79.63±18.20） μmol/L, respectively）. Logistic regression analysis showed that diabetic duration, systolic blood pressure, creatinine and SUA were the independent predictors of albuminuria. Furthermore, to identify the factors associated with renal function, these patients were divided into two groups according to the MDRD level （MDRD〈90 or MDRD〉90）. Both SUA and creatinine were significantly higher in the lower MDRD group than those in the higher MDRD group （（301.90±96.46） vs. （264.07±84.74） μmol/L, and （89.10±31.00） vs. （66.37±11.15） μmol/L, respectively）. Logistic regression analysis showed that only age and SUA were the independent predictors of MDRD. Conclusion High-normal SUA was associated with albuminuria and impaired glomerular filtration rate in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.展开更多

Patients: The present prospective observational study included 52 patients who underwent kidney transplantation at Jichi Medical University Hospital from 2014 to 2016. Results: The serum creatinine (sCr) concentration at one month after transplantation was closely related to the concentration at 12 months. The recipients were divided into two groups based on the sCr concentration at one month after transplantation. Recipients with a sCr concentration greater than or equal to the median were classified into Group H, while those with concentrations that were less than the median were classified into Group L. A stepwise multiple regression analysis demonstrated that the salt intake in male recipients was an independent predictor of the renal function at 12 months (β = 0.663, p β = 0.618, p < 0.01). Moreover, in female recipients, the BMI and serum uric acid values in Group H were significantly higher than those in Group L. The BMI values of the female recipients in Group H were significantly higher than those in Group L at all times during the follow-up period (p < 0.01). Conclusion: The daily salt intake was independently associated with the renal function at one year after kidney transplantation in male recipients. In female recipients, the BMI was independently associated with the sCr concentration during the one-year follow-up period.展开更多
