A study of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein excretion in adult type 2 diabetes mellitus .
Clinical Nephrology 2018 July
AIM: To study the excretion of urinary Tamm-Horsfall protein (THP) with a wide range of urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in a population with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective investigation was performed in 3,599 adult inpatients with T2DM in Anhui Provincial Hospital of China. Demographic information, urinary THP data, and other lab reports were obtained from the Electronic Patient Record (EPR).
RESULTS: (1) In T2DM, average HbA1c was 8.6%, and 55.2% of the patients had an HbA1c > 9%. The percentages with normal excretion, decreased excretion, and increased excretion of urinary THP were 49.8%, 41.7%, and 8.5%, respectively. Serum creatinine (Scr), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and UACR levels were highest, and eGFR was lowest, in the decreased urinary THP group. (2) The proportion of decreased urinary THP excretion rose, and the level of urinary THP declined when UACR increased or eGFR decreased. (3) Urinary THP showed a negative correlation to Scr, BUN, triglyceride (TG), and UACR (rs = -0.173, -0.228, -0.060 and -0.237, respectively), but a positive correlation with eGFR and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) (rs =0.128 and 0.040, respectively). (4) Logistical regression analysis showed that Scr, BUN, TG, UACR, and eGFR were independent risk factors for decreased urinary THP (OR = 3.477, 1.461, 1.160, 2.124, and 2.087, respectively).
CONCLUSION: Increased albuminuria and decreased GFR are predictors of decreased urinary THP excretion. Distal convoluted tubule lesion may precede glomerular damage in a portion of T2DM patients. .
