Factores clínicos y farmacológicos relacionados con los requerimientos de fotocoagulación láser en pacientes con nefropatía diabética secundaria a diabetes mellitus tipo 2 / Clinical and pharmacological factors related to the requirements of laser photocoagulation in patients with diabetic nephropathy due to type 2 diabetes mellitus

Fundamento y objetivo: La retinopatía diabética es una complicación microvascular de la diabetes mellitus cuya prevalencia está estrechamente relacionada con la presencia de nefropatía y la hipertensión. Los objetivos fueron estudiar qué factores clínicos y farmacológicos se relacionan con una mayor necesidad de fotocoagulación láser en pacientes con nefropatía y retinopatía diabética y, en segundo lugar, determinar las características diferenciales entre ambos subgrupos de pacientes diabéticos tipo 2 según si/no hubieran recibido fotocoagulación láser. Pacientes y métodos: Estudio descriptivo transversal de 63 pacientes seguidos en consulta de Nefropatía Diabética. A los pacientes se les dividió en 2 grupos según hubiesen recibido o no previamente fotocoagulación. En cada subgrupo se estudiaron variables de tipo demográfico, antropométrico, analítico, factores de riesgo cardiovascular y tratamiento que recibían los pacientes para el control de la hipertensión arterial, diabetes u otras enfermedades asociadas. Resultados: Se observó que el grupo que había recibido fotocoagulación tenía más años de evolución de la diabetes, más antecedentes de enfermedad cardiovascular y un aclaramiento de creatinina inferior. Asimismo, el porcentaje de pacientes tratados con carvedilol era significativamente superior en el subgrupo que no había recibido fotocoagulación, mientras que el porcentaje de pacientes tratados con betabloqueantes era significativamente superior en el subgrupo que sí la había recibido, no observándose diferencias en el grado de control de la tensión arterial. Conclusiones: Los factores clínicos y farmacológicos relacionados con una mayor necesidad de fotocoagulación fueron el tiempo de evolución de la diabetes, la historia previa de enfermedad cardiovascular, el grado de insuficiencia renal y el tratamiento con betabloqueantes (AU)

Background and objetive: Diabetic retinopathy is a microvascular complication of diabetes mellitus whose prevalence is closely related to the presence of nephropathy and hypertension. The aim was to study clinical and pharmacological factors that are associated with an increased need for laser photocoagulation in patients with diabetic nephropathy and retinopathy. Patients and methods: Cross sectional study of 63 patients followed in the Diabetic Nephropathy consultation. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to whether or not previously have received photocoagulation. In each subgroup were studied demographic variables, anthropometric, laboratory, cardiovascular risk factors and treatment received by each patient for the control of hypertension, diabetes and others diseases. Results: We observed that the group had received photocoagulation had more years of diabetes evolution, more history of cardiovascular disease and a lower creatinine clearance. Similary, the percentage of patients treated with carvedilol was significantly higher in the subgroup who had not received photocoagulation while the percentage of patients treated with beta-blockers was significantly higher in the subgroup that received photocoagulation; no significant differences was observed in the degree of control blood pressure. Conclusions: Clinical and pharmacological factors related to the requirements of laser photocoagulation were years of diabetes evolution, history of cardiovascular disease, the stage of kidney disease and the treatment with beta-blokers (AU)
