Sensory function and albumin excretion according to diagnostic criteria for diabetes.

چکیده
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to examine sensory function and albumin excretion according to categories of glucose tolerance in individuals undergoing screening for diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Sensory function and albumin excretion measurements were obtained in 636 individuals at the time of screening for diabetes according to American Diabetes Association glucose tolerance criteria. Sensory thresholds were measured by forced-choice techniques. Albumin-to-creatinine ratios were calculated from spot urine samples. RESULTS Of 90 individuals whose glucose levels were in the range for diabetes, 65 had fasting glucose values >or=126 mg/dl, whereas 25 had 2-h glucose values >or=200 mg/dl, with fasting glucose values <126 mg/dl. In covariance analyses, those with fasting glucose levels >or=126 mg/dl had higher vibration (P < 0.01) and thermal (P < 0.05 for cool and warm) thresholds than those with normal glucose tolerance. This pattern was also evident for albumin-to-creatinine ratios (P < 0.001). In contrast, those with 2-h glucose values >or=200 mg/dl and fasting glucose values <126 mg/dl had sensory threshold and albumin-to-creatinine ratio values similar to those of the normal group. Individuals with fasting glucose levels >or=126 mg/dl had higher vibration threshold and albumin-to-creatinine ratio values (<0.05 and <0.01, respectively) than those with levels <126 mg/dl. CONCLUSIONS Sensory threshold and albumin excretion values already tend to be greater than normal at screening in individuals with fasting glucose levels >or=126 mg/dl, but not in those with levels <126 mg/dl. A reliance on fasting glucose levels >or=126 mg/dl for screening might not be sufficient for early intervention and the optimal prevention of diabetes complications.

Introduction: The urinary excretion of minimal quantities of albumin (microalbuminuria) is predictive of renal failure and cardiovascular mortality. The detection and prompt treatment of microalbuminuria is crucial to the prevention and progress of renal failure in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study is to evaluate the relative frequency of microalbuminuria in different age groups o...

While the best way to identify microalbuminuria is to determine albumin excretion rate (AER) in a 24 h urine sample. Published data have shown that calculation of an albumin/creatinine ratio (ACR) in a spot urine sample has reasonable rate of sensitivity and specificity. We aimed to evaluate the effect of daily exercise on ACR and estimate the best time for the examination of the ACR in a spot ...
