Plasma heparanase is associated with blood glucose levels but not urinary microalbumin excretion in type 2 diabetic nephropathy at the early stage.
Renal Failure 2017 November
AIM: To explore the possible correlations between plasma heparanase and albuminuria, glucose and lipid metabolism in the type 2 diabetic nephropathy patients at the early stage.
METHODS: One hundred and forty patients with type 2 diabetic nephropathy at early stage were recruited into the study. Plasma heparanase and the characterized advanced glycation end products (AGEs), carboxymethyllysine (CML) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.
RESULTS: Plasma heparanase was positively associated with fasting blood glucose (R = 0.24, p = .01) while heparanase was not significantly correlated with the urinary microalbumin to creatinine ratio (urinary mAlb/Cr) (R = 0.05, p = .58) and CML (R = 0.16, p = .26). On stepwise linear regression analysis, fasting blood glucose was the main independent determinants of plasma heparanase concentration.
CONCLUSION: Plasma heparanase is not significantly associated with urinary mAlb/Cr while it is correlated positively with blood glucose levels in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy. Plasma heparnase might be regarded as a marker for vascular endothelial cells injury in diabetic patients.
