RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The objective of this study was to identify a parameter that can facilitate the diagnosis of prediabetes and predict the likelihood of its development in individuals at high risk. METHODS: In this retrospective study, the study population was selected from Bolu Abant Izzet Baysal University Hospital's patients. Participants were divided into two groups, prediabetes and healthy group. We excluded individuals with certain conditions or taking certain medications. The study compared the ratios of uric acid to high-density lipoprotein (HDL) between the two groups and identified the optimal point of differentiation. RESULTS: The study analyzed data from 228 individuals, including 125 with prediabetes and 103 healthy controls. Those with prediabetes had a significantly higher median UHR (0.13 (0.07-0.24) %) compared to healthy individuals (0.09 (0.05-0.16) %) (p < 0.001). Higher UHR values were associated with a greater risk of prediabetes. A UHR cut-off points greater than 0.11 % had a sensitivity of 74 % and specificity of 69 % in detecting prediabetes. CONCLUSION: The study provides evidence that UHR can serve as a practical and valuable diagnostic and screening tool for prediabetes (Tab. 2, Fig. 1, Ref. 23).

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: Diabetic kidney injury (DKI) is a serious microvascular complicationof type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Novel markers are being developedto make a timely diagnosis of this complication. Uric Acid to HDLratio (UHR) was reported to be associated with inflammatory andmetabolic diseases such as metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetesmellitus, thyroiditis, and nonalcoholic hepatosteatosis, recently. Inthe present study, we aimed to show the diagnostic role of UHR indiabetic kidney injury (DKI), a condition characterized with chronicand low-grade inflammation. METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed data of 287 patients who already had T2D Min outpatient clinics of our institution. The study population was divided into two groups according to the presence of DKI. General characteristics and laboratory data, including UHR levels, of the diabetic subjects with DKI were compared to those of patients without DKI. RESULTS: The median UHR of the diabetic patients with DKI group (0,13 (0,06-0,33)) was significantly elevated compared to the UHR of diabetic patients without DKI (0,11 (0,04-0,34)) (p < 0.001). Median UHR was significantly and positively correlated with UACR (r=0.14, p=0.02), serum creatinine (r=0.18, p=0.002), and HbA1c (r=0.28, p<0.001) levels. There was also a significant inverse correlation between UHR and GFR (r=-0.19, p=0.001) values. Logistic regression analysis confirmed that a 0.1 point increase in UHR increases DKI odds by 2.3 times. UHR was also correlated with serum creatinine, GFR, and UACR, which are important signs for DKI. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, we think that UHR could be a diagnostic tool indiabetic kidney injury according to the preliminary results of the present study. UHR has an independent predictive role in DKI, and ithas significant correlation with other markers of kidney functions, therefore, we suggest routine evaluation of UHR in patients with DKIalong with other markers such as serum creatinine, GFR, and UACR.

RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) is a chronic autoimmune thyroiditis that causes systemic inflammation in the body, leading to hypothyroidism and an enlargement of the thyroid gland. OBJECTIVES: This study aims to reveal whether there is a relationship between Hashimoto's thyroiditis and the platelet-count-to-lymphocyte-count ratio (PLR), which is used as a new inflammatory marker. METHODS: In this retrospective study, we compared the PLR of the euthyroid HT group and the hypothyroid-thyrotoxic HT group to the controls. We also evaluated the values of thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), free T4 (fT4), C-reactive protein (CRP), aspartate transaminase (AST), alanine transaminase (ALT), white blood cell count, lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, hematocrit, and platelet count in each group. RESULTS: The PLR of the subjects with Hashimoto's thyroiditis was found to be significantly different from the control group (p < 0.001), with the rankings as follows: hypothyroid-thyrotoxic HT 177% (72-417) > euthyroid HT 137% (69-272) > control group 103% (44-243). In addition to the increased PLR values, an increase in CRP values was also observed, revealing a strong positive correlation between the PLR and CRP in the HT patients. CONCLUSION: In this study, we found out that the PLR was higher in the hypothyroid-thyrotoxic HT and euthyroid HT patients than in a healthy control group.
