BACKGROUND
Cow's milk has been implicated as a possible trigger of the autoimmune response that destroys pancreatic beta cells in genetically susceptible hosts, thus causing diabetes mellitus. Studies in animals have suggested that bovine serum albumin (BSA) is the milk protein responsible, and an
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
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
The aim of the study was to test the hypothesis that in diabetic patients without overt nephropathy there may be a correlation between the activity of natural anticoagulant proteins and glomerular dysfunction. Assays for functional activity of proteins S and C, measurements of urinary albumin
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
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
OBJECTIVE
The effect of metabolic control on hepatic synthesis of plasma proteins in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), in the post-absorptive and post-prandial state, is not known.
METHODS
We measured fractional synthetic rates (FSR) of albumin and fibrinogen in six insulin-infused T1DM patients and
Abnormal urinary excretion of albumin is a nonspecific sign of nephropathy, commonly occurring in persons with hypertension as well as diabetes. Transferrin, rather than albumin, is more readily excreted by the kidney in those with diabetes compared with those with hypertension alone. One hundred
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
Microalbuminuria is considered to be an early indicator of diabetic nephropathy. In this report, we developed an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the measurement of urinary albumin (UA) and examined UA in 38 patients with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). The assay range of
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
