ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
The purposes of this study were to compare pancreatic shear-wave velocity (SWV) in subjects with and those without diabetic microvascular complications and to investigate the feasibility of pancreatic SWV in evaluating diabetic microangiopathy. SUBJECTS ANDMETHODS:
SWV measurements were prospectively performed in 115 patients with diabetes mellitus and 115 healthy persons by use of acoustic radiation force impulse imaging. Patients with diabetes were divided into subgroups with and without microangiopathy. Pancreatic SWV was compared in three groups. Factors associated with increased SWV were studied.RESULTS:
Pancreatic SWV increased significantly in the subgroups with diabetes mellitus compared with the control group (p < 0.01). Especially, the SWV in the pancreatic body was significantly higher when microangiopathy was present (p < 0.01). In patients with diabetes, microangiopathy (standardized ß = 0.208, p = 0.022), age (standardized ß = 0.265, p = 0.004), and total cholesterol level (standardized ß = 0.223, p = 0.011) were positively and markedly correlated with high SWV in the pancreatic body.CONCLUSION:
The increased SWV in the pancreatic body was significantly related to the presence of microangiopathy. It is feasible to use SWV in the pancreatic body to evaluate diabetic microangiopathy.Palabras clave
