Background: The result of a standard urinary dipstick from a patient with diabetes mellitus type 2 can be used to predict the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). We designed a multilayer perceptron (MLP) to investigate the possibility and optimal number of variables for the prediction. Methods: A total of 299 volunteers with diabetes mellitus type 2 were included. The blood and urine samples from volunteers were analyzed for blood sugar, glycated hemoglobin, serum creatinine, and urine chemistry. The urine chemistry was examined by a standard urinary dipstick. Volunteer age and gender and six test items of the dipstick were set as eight variables for this study. The eight variables were grouped and examined for the optimal combination. The eight variables from 232 of 299 volunteers were used to train an MLP for the optimal variables. The performance of trained MLP was validated by the data from 69 of 232 volunteers. Results: The optimal combination for variables was the six test items of the dipstick and volunteer age. The area under the curve (0.928), accuracy (0.879), sensitivity (0.83), and specificity (0.88) of the trained MLP were examined. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the eGFR prediction potential of the results of a urinary dipstick using this method.

It is known that the increase of glomerular filtration rate (GFR) represents an early sign of diabetic nephropathy. The changes of endothelial functions observed in diabetes might play a role in this respect. As F VIII vWF and fibronectin are synthetized by endothelial cells, we evaluated these components in 33 diabetic patients with short-term Type I (insulin dependent) diabetes mellitus, without retinopathy and macro-vascular complications. 15 pts. (mean age 29 ± 7 yrs; mean diabetes duration 2.9 ± 0.9 yrs) presented high GFR (154 ± 19 ml/min per 1.73 m2 ; albuminuria 7.2 ± 3.2 μg/min) and 18 pts. (mean age 30 ± 6 yrs; mean diabetes duration 3.0 ± 1 yrs) normal GFR (105 ± 11 ml/min per 1.73 m2 ; albuminuria 5 ± 2.8 μg/min).The following results were obtained:In conclusion the significant increase of FVIIIR:Ag and fibronectin levels in short-time type I diabetic patients with high GFR suggests an early endothelial cell function damage also related to the Door metabolic control.

Abstract Background and Aims SGLT2 inhibitors, the most recent glucose-lowering oral agents, have the potential to exert nephroprotection not only through improving glycemic control but also through glucose-independent effects. Recent studies demonstrate this effect with decreased albuminuria and lowering the progression of chronic kidney disease. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effect of iSGLT2 on glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria during the first year of treatment. Method This was a retrospective cross-sectional study that included patients diagnosed with DM2 and treated with an iSGLT2 during 1 year in a Diabetic Clinic. Demographic and clinical variables were collected, including HbA1c, disease duration and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF). Patient glucose-control therapy as well as RAAS inhibitor drugs were gathered. The estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) by the formula CKD-EPI and albuminuria, using the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, were evaluated at the iSGLT2 introduction date and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months of treatment. Results We analyzed 208 patients, 53.8% male, mean age 65.5 years, median baseline HbA1c 8.4% and median duration of DM2 14 years. Of all patients, 94.2% had at least 1 CVRF, 71.6% were hypertensive, 83.2% had dyslipidemia, 48.1% were obese, and 25.2% had past/current smoking habits. Regarding glucose-control therapy, only 20.2% were treated with one oral drug class and the remaining with 2 or more classes, with 81.7% of the patients receiving metformin and 51.4% being on insulin therapy. Overall, 63.5% of patients received dapaglifozin therapy and 36.5% empaglifozin. Also, 56.3% were on a RAAS inhibitor. Regarding eGFR, 15.6% patients had an eGFR between 30 and 60 and 84.4% patients had an eGFR greater than 60 ml/min/1.73m2. As for albuminuria, 37 patients had normal albuminuria (<30mg/g), 18 patients had moderate albuminuria (30-300mg/g) and 6 patients had severe albuminuria (>300mg/g). In 12 months, there was a significant reduction in HbA1c (mean variation 0.5%) (p<0.001). Evaluating eGFR throughout the year, a decrease was observed in the first 6 months from an average of 81.6 to 78.5 ml/min/1.73m2 (p=0,001). Although on the second semester, there was an increase in eGFR to 83.4 ml/min/1.73m2 (p<0.001). These were similar in patints treated with dapagliflozin and empagliflozin. In patients with eGFR <60ml/min at the admission, there was an increase in eGFR from 49.6 to 53.4ml/min/1.73m2 after one year of treatment (p=0,260). A decrease in albuminuria levels was observed in the first year of iSGLT2 use, either in the case of moderate albuminuria (initial median of 80.52mg/g to 54.88mg/g) (p=0,758) or severe albuminuria (initial mean 650.40mg/g to 420.28mg/g) (p=0,213). Conclusion This data shows that after an initial reduction in eGFR during the first 6 months of treatment, the use of iSGLT2 after one year improved the eGFR, promoting a nephroprotective effect in type 2 diabetic patients.
