Renal Outcome in Type 2 Diabetic Patients With or Without Coexisting Nondiabetic Nephropathies

Renal outcome in type 2 diabetic patients with or without coexisting nondiabetic nephropathies.

OBJECTIVE To determine the risk factors for adverse renal outcome in type 2 diabetic patients who underwent renal biopsy and were followed-up longitudinally. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We examined 68 consecutive patients with type 2 diabetes during the period of 1985-1999 who underwent renal biopsy for proteinuria > or =1 g/day, renal involvement (proteinuria or renal impairment) at the abse...

cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen-4 gene variants in type 2 diabetic patients with or without neuropathy

many studies have shown that cytotoxic t lymphocyte antigen-4 (ctla-4) gene variants are associated with several autoimmune diseases particularly type 1 diabetes. due to the lack of consistent data for this association with type 2 diabetes (t2d), this study explored the possible influence of ctla-4 gene polymorphisms at -1722 (t/c), -318 (c/t), and +49 (g/a) positions for susceptibility to t2d ...

Postprandial triglyceride levels in type 2 diabetic patients with and without history of myocardial infarction

Introduction: Cardiovascular disease is a major cause of death in diabetic cases. Studies have shown that hypertriglyceridemia is an important risk factor for cardiovascular disorders. Although triglyceride level is generally increased in postprandial periods, the association between postprandial triglyceride level in diabetic patients and cardiovascular diseases and myocardial infarction (MI...
