OBJECTIVE
We aimed to evaluate the levels of urine microalbumin, urine albumin creatinine ratio, plasma creatinine and glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) among type 2 diabetic patients and assessed the correlation between microalbuminuria and plasma creatinine levels.
METHODS
A retrospective chart
OBJECTIVE
Associations between dental conditions and overall health have been previously reported. Investigators have also shown significant inverse relationships between serum albumin (a general health status marker) and root caries. This relationship was explored among a study population of Gullah
BACKGROUND
There is still controversy as to whether increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus may have similar pathognomonic relevance as in type 1 diabetes and whether improved metabolic control may beneficially influence increased UAE in type 2 diabetic
OBJECTIVE
Glycated albumin (GA) relative to A1C is a useful marker of short-term glycemic control. We investigated whether endogenous insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes has different effects on GA and A1C levels.
METHODS
A1C, GA, and GA-to-A1C ratio were compared in 202 type 2 diabetic patients by
OBJECTIVE
To investigate urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and its relation with C-reactive protein (CRP) and the metabolic syndrome in the prediction of the development of type 2 diabetes.
METHODS
We used data from the Prevention of Renal and Vascular End Stage Disease (PREVEND) study, an ongoing,
The albumin index (mg/g . creatinine) was determined in untimed spot urine collected in the early morning from 92 randomly selected outpatients with noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The patients were divided into three groups: 49 patients with normo-albuminuria (albumin index less
To evaluate the clinical effect of ibudilast, a prostacyclin-mediated vasodilator and antiplatelet agent, on diabetic nephropathy, 8 nonhypertensive patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM; 4 men and 4 women, mean age: 58.9 +/- 11.4 years, duration of diabetes: 16.9 +/- 3.2 years) with
OBJECTIVE
Insulin detemir induces bodyweight loss or less weight gain in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, in contrast to insulin detemir, insulin glargine has no weight loss effect. Increased sodium excretion has been speculated to be one of the mechanisms of weight loss by insulin
BACKGROUND
Thiazolidinediones are antidiabetic agents that improve insulin sensitivity (IS). Accumulating data indicate that these agents provide beneficial effects beyond glycemic control, such as improvement in vascular function. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of rosiglitazone
Albiglutide, under development by GlaxoSmithKline plc for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), is an albumin-fusion peptide. The compound is a mimetic of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a hormone that decreases glucose levels, but has a short half-life because of degradation by
Objective. This study examined the association between serum albumin concentration and ketosis risk in hospitalized individuals with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods. A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a medical center in Taiwan. Inclusion criteria were endocrinology ward
We studied the relationship between albuminuria (measured as albumin/creatinine ratio (alb/Cr) in a random urine sample) and measures of glycaemic control (fructosamine, HbA1 and glucose) in 470 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). Albumin excretion was in the
We performed an observational study to investigate if plasma 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA), a derivative end product of serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine), concentration could be a predictor for deterioration of urinary albumin excretion. The relationship between baseline plasma 5-HIAA
We recently found that serum dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) concentration correlated inversely with the degree of urinary albumin excretion in a cross-sectional study. We therefore performed an observational study to investigate the relationship between serum DHEA-S concentrations and
We investigated the urinary albumin excretion and renal hemodynamics of normotensive nonobese patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) in an early microalbuminuric stage (defined by albuminuria less than 30 mg/day). In comparison with normal
