Clinical significance of urine UmAlb/UCr ratio and type Ⅳ collagen in early diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy / 中国综合临床

ABSTRACT

Objective To study the clinical significance of urinary type Ⅳ collagen(IVC)and UmAlb/UCr ratio in the diagnosis of early diabetic nephropathy. Methods We collected 52 cases of diabetes(group A)without DN(UAE ＜30 mg/24 h),35 cases of diabetes(group B)with early DN(UAE as 30-300 mg/24 h),and 50 cases of healthy controls. The differences of urine IVC,UmAlb/UCr were compared among group A,B and the control group. ROC curve was used for evaluating the use of urine IVC and UmAlb/UCr in the diagnosis of early DN. The correlation of urine IVC and UmAlb/UCr with UAE were investigated,and linear model curve were established. IVC in urine was detected by chemiluminescence,UmAlb was detected by immunoturbidimetric assay,UCr was detected by enzymatic. Statistical analysis were performed with SPSS13.0 statistical software. Results The urine IVC testing of group A,B and the control group were(2. 64 ± 0. 91),(3.91 ± 1.93)and(10. 08 ± 6. 50)μg/L,respectively. The UmAlb/UCr(mg/mmol)testing of group A,B and the control group were(1.50 ± 0. 40),(2. 58 ±2. 10)and(17.95 ± 13. 38)mg/mmol,respectively. Urine IVC and UmAlb/UCr were significant difference between group A,B and the control group(Ps ＜ 0. 01);the ROC area under the curve(AUCROC)of urine IVC and UmAlb/UCr were 0. 724,0. 945,the two indicators for early diagnosis of DN were significant(Ps ＜ 0. 01);The pearson correlation coefficients of the urine IVC and UmAlb/UCr were 0. 529,0. 919 ,respectively. They were positive and significant correlation(Ps ＜ 0. 01),On the basis of the correlation coefficient and linear model fitting curve with the UAE,the relationship of UmAlb/UCr with the UAE was better than that of IVC. Conclusions Urine IVC and UmAlb/UCr ratio,which significantly assists diagnosis in diabetic nephropathy ,can be used as a sensitive diagnostic indicator of diabetic nephropathy. Moreover,the relationship of UmAlb/UCr with the UAE is better than that with IVC.
