ABSTRACT
AIM:
Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a devastating complication of diabetes mellitus (DM). Therefore, screening strategies in order to prevent its development and/or retard its progression are of paramount importance. We investigated if monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) was associated with new onset microalbuminuria-the earliest sign of the albuminuric phenotype of DN- in patients with type 2 DM and normoalbuminuria.METHODS:
We measured MCP-1 in serum and urine samples from patients of the Randomized Olmesartan And Diabetes Microalbuminuria Prevention (ROADMAP) study and its Observational Follow-up (OFU) cohort. A case control design was used with inclusion of 172 patients who developed microalbuminuria (MA) and of 188 well matched controls who remained normoalbuminuric.RESULTS:
The median duration of follow-up for the ROADMAP cohorts was 6.5 years, whereas the mean time until occurrence of MA was 53.2 months. In the multivariate analysis, serum and urine MCP-1 remained significant predictors of new onset MA. The risk for MA increased continuously with increasing serum and urine MCP-1 levels but reached statistical significance only in the highest quartiles. The risk associations were stronger with serum MCP-1.CONCLUSIONS:
MCP-1 is a marker and possibly a mediator of early diabetic nephropathy. Further prospective studies are necessary to test whether diabetic patients with elevated MCP-1 levels would benefit from specific therapeutic interventions.Palavras-chave
