Background. Obesity has been considered as an important factor in the development and progression of chronic kidney diseases (CKD). Perirenal fat, which is surrounding the kidneys, has been reported to be unique in anatomy and biological functions. This study is aimed at assessing the relationship between perirenal fat thickness (PrFT) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Methods. A total of 171 patients with T2DM were recruited in the study. The basic and clinical characteristics including sex, age, diabetes duration, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), visceral fat area (VFA), glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), serum uric acid (UA), total cholesterol (TC), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c), and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) were collected. PrFT was measured via ultrasound. eGFR was calculated using the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease (MDRD) formula. Results. Patients were divided into three groups according to PrFT, and we found patients with higher PrFT had lower eGFR. PrFT was significantly correlated with eGFR in all patients r=−0.181,P<0.05. Subgroup analysis by sex showed that PrFT still significantly and negatively related to eGFR in men r=−0.264,P<0.05, but not in women (r=−0.199, P=0.062). The association also existed in multivariate analysis after correction for the confounding factors β=−0.203,P=0.017. Conclusions. This study confirmed a negative independent relationship between PrFT and eGFR in patients with T2DM, especially in men, suggesting a possible role of perirenal fat in kidney dysfunction in T2DM patients.

Abstract Background Para- and perirenal fat is a fat pad surrounding the kidneys. Recent researches have showed the association between para- and perirenal fat and cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis, hypertension and so on. Limited studies have explored the relation between para- and perirenal fat and serum high density lipoprotein (HDL) level, but the results were inconsistent. We aimed to assess the relationship between para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness and serum HDL level and cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Methods We recruited 58 subjects with T2DM and collected anthropometric indices including height, weight, waist circumference and so on. Para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness (PUFT) was measured via ultrasound. Serum lipid profile and other metabolic indices were determined as well. Then we analyzed the relationship between PUFT and HDL level and cholesterol efflux capacity in all patients and subgroups divided by gender and body mass index (BMI). Results Patients with higher PUFT have lower serum HDL level but increased cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL. Further analysis showed that PUFT negatively correlated with serum HDL level in all patients, with no difference in group divided by BMI. While subgroup analysis divided by gender indicated that the relationship only existed in males. In addition, PUFT was positively correlated with cholesterol efflux capacity in all patients. However, subgroup analysis showed that PUFT did not significantly correlated with cholesterol efflux capacity in males and BMI ≥28kg/m 2 . Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed an independent association of PUFT and serum HDL level and cholesterol efflux capacity. Conclusions PUFT is closely correlated with serum HDL level and cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with T2DM.

Introduction: Simple renal cysts (SRCs) are the most common acquired cystic kidney disease, but the relationship between SRCs and renal function has not been clarified in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: A retrospective study was conducted to analyze the clinical features of renal cysts and ultrasound data of the kidney in 4,304 patients with T2DM.Results: The prevalence of SRCs in patients with T2DM was 21.1%. Compared to patients with no SRCs, patients with SRCs had worse renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate: 108.65 ± 40.93 vs. 92.38 ± 42.1 ml/min/1.73 m2, p &lt; 0.05). After adjusting the confounders, SRC was related to estimated glomerular filtration rate in patients with T2DM [odds ratio = 1.49, 95% confidence interval (1.24, 1.79), p &lt; 0.01]. Age, gout, proteinuria, cerebrovascular disease (CVD), and increased serum phosphorus levels were associated with SRCs in patients with T2DM.Conclusion: SRCs are associated with worse renal function in patients with T2DM. More attention should be paid to gout, proteinuria, CVD, serum phosphorus levels, and renal function in T2DM patients with SRCs.

Background: A Research glomerular filtration rate (GFR) of 61 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus with renal scanning 99mTc-DTPA glomerular filtration rate at the hospital 175. Objective: (1) To study characteristics of imaging of renal function. (2) Understanding the relationship between GFR with blood sugar, HbA1c, blood pressure and albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods: Descriptive, prospective, cross-sectional study. Clinical examination, Clinical tests and 99mTc-DTPA GFR gamma - camera renography for patients. Result: GFR of the study group was 75,4 ± 22,3 ml/phut/1,73m2, the left kidney was 35,0 ± 13,0 is lower than the right kidney and 39,8 ± 11,9; p <0,01. There is no correlation between GFR with blood glucose and HbA1c, the risk of reduced GFR in hypertensive group associated is OR = 6,5 with p<0,01; albuminuria (+) is OR = 4,2 with p <0,01; and disease duration > 10 years is OR = 3,5 with p <0.01. Conclusion: GFR of the left kidneys is lower than the right kidney; correlation decreased GFR associated with hypertension, albuminuria and disease duration. Keywords: GFR, diabetes, albuminuria
