YKL-40 levels are independently associated with albuminuria in type 2 diabetes
OBJECTIVE AND DESIGN YKL-40 is involved in inflammation and endothelial dysfunction, and is increased in patients with type 1 diabetes, with an independent association between increasing YKL-40 levels and increasing levels of albuminuria. YKL-40 is associated with atherosclerosis and an increased cardiovascular mortality in the general population. In the present study YKL-40 levels were examine...
متن کاملSerum YKL-40 levels are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus in patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome.
Patients with obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) have an increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It has been recently demonstrated that serum YKL-40 levels, also named as human cartilage glycoprotein 39, are elevated in T2DM patients. The aim of this study was to determine whether serum YKL-40 levels are associated with T2DM in patients with OSAS. This study consisted of 432 pa...
متن کاملOffice and ambulatory blood pressure are independently associated with albuminuria in older subjects with type 2 diabetes.
Blood pressure strongly predicts microalbuminuria and later progression to renal failure in people with diabetes. Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring seems to be superior to office blood pressure in predicting progression to microalbuminuria in type 1 diabetes. The associations of ambulatory blood pressure with office blood pressure and microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetes remain unclear. We st...
متن کاملHigh serum levels of YKL-40 in patients with systemic sclerosis are associated with pulmonary involvement.
OBJECTIVES YKL-40, a growth factor of connective tissue cells, is elevated in sera from patients with diseases characterized by inflammation, tissue remodelling, or fibrosis. The aim of the study was to determine serum YKL-40 levels in patients with systemic sclerosis (SSc) and to explore any possible clinical and prognostic associations. METHODS YKL-40 was measured in sera from 88 patients w...
متن کاملYKL-40, a Marker of Inflammation and Endothelial Dysfunction, Is Elevated in Patients With Type 1 Diabetes and Increases With Levels of Albuminuria
OBJECTIVE The inflammation marker YKL-40 is elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes and is associated with atherosclerosis and increased cardiovascular mortality. In the present study, YKL-40 levels were examined in patients with type 1 diabetes with increasing levels of albuminuria, known to be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total...
