AbstractBackgroundPrevious studies investigating the known risk factors of atherosclerosis in phenylketonuria patients have shown conflicting results. The primary aim of our study was to investigate the serum atherogenic markers in adolescent classical phenylketonuria patients and compare these parameters with healthy peers. The secondary aim was to compare these atherogenic markers in well-controlled and poorly controlled patients.MethodsA total of 59 patients (median age: 12.6 years, range: 11–17 years) and 44 healthy controls (median age: 12.0 years, range: 11–15 years) were enrolled in our study. Phenylketonuria patients were divided into two groups: well-controlled (serum phenylalanine levels below 360 µmol/L; 24 patients) and poorly controlled patients (serum phenylalanine levels higher than 360 µmol/L).ResultsThe mean high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels of well-controlled patients (1.0±0.2 mmol/L) were significantly lower compared with poorly controlled patients and controls (1.1±0.2 mmol/L, p=0.011 and 1.4±0.2 mmol/L, p<0.001, respectively). Poorly controlled patients had lower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels than healthy controls (p=0.003). Homocysteine levels of both well-controlled (9.8±6.4 µmol/L) and poorly controlled (9.2±5.6 µmol/L) patients were higher compared with controls (5.8±1.8 µmol/L, p<0.01). The mean platelet volume of well-controlled patients (9.5±1.1 fL) was higher than that of poorly controlled patients and controls (8.9±0.8 fL, p=0.024 and 7.7±0.6 fL, p<0.001, respectively).ConclusionLower high-density lipoprotein cholesterol and higher homocysteine and mean platelet volume levels were detected in phenylketonuria patients. In particular, these changes were more prominent in well-controlled patients. We conclude that phenylketonuria patients might be at risk for atherosclerosis, and therefore screening for atherosclerotic risk factors should be included in the phenylketonuria therapy and follow-up in addition to other parameters.

Abstract Background: High indoxyl sulfate (IS) levels and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-c) levels are both risk factors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, the connection between which has not been clearly clarified. This study aimed to explore the relationship between IS and HDL-c levels in early stages of CKD population. Methods: Patients of CKD stage 1-3 were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. Correlations between HDL-c and IS were investigated among various clinicopathological variables.Results: A total of 205 CKD patients (96 men) with a mean age of 43.3 years old were included in this research. There were 96 patients (46 men) in CKD stage1 and 109 (50 men) in CKD stage 2 or stage 3. IS levels were significantly higher in CKD 2+3 group (1.50±1.74μg/ml vs 0.94±0.66μg/ml, p=0.007), while HCL-c levels were lower (1.19±0.39mmol/L vs 1.33±0.45 mmol/L, p=0.017) compared to CKD 1 group. Among all the patients, a negative correlation was observed between IS and HDL-c levels (r=-0.244, p=0.001). IS level was an independent risk factor for low HDL-c (<1.04mmol/L) incidence even after controlling for potential confounders (OR=1.63, 95% CI: 1.11-2.39, p=0.013). IS and HDL-c were both risk factors for predicting CKD stage 3. Conclusions: Metabolic disorder of HDL-c occurs in early CKD stages, probably attributed by increased IS level. Early management of dyslipidemia and uremic toxin retention is important for delaying disease progression and preventing cardiovascular events.

Abstract Background The triglyceride and glucose index (TyG) and triglyceride-to-high density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C) were found to be substitute markers of insulin resistance (IR). We aimed to compare the efficacy of the two indicators in the diagnosis of Metabolic-Associated Fatty Liver Disease (MAFLD), which was rarely covered in the literature, and to construct a novel disease diagnosis model.Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out in West China Hospital of Sichuan University and 229 people (97 MAFLD and 132 Non-MAFLD) were included. Biochemical indexes were collected and analyzed by logistic regression to screen out indicators that expressed differently in MAFLD patients and healthy controls and incorporate them into a diagnostic model. MAFLD was diagnosed by Ultrasound.Results After adjusting for age, gender and BMI, Serum ALT, AST, AST/ALT (A/A), FPG, Cys-C, URIC, TG, HDL-C, ALP, GGT, nonHDL-C, LDL-C/HDL-C, nonHDL-C/HDL-C, TG/HDL-C, TC/HDL-C, TyG and TyG-BMI were risk factors of MAFLD through binary logistics regression analysis. The odds ratio of TG/HDL-C and TyG were 5.387 (95%CI: 2.986-9,718) and 107.945 (95% CI: 25.824-451.222). In identifying MAFLD, TyG, TG/HDL-C and TG were found to be the most vital indexes by the random forest method and the area under the curve (AUC) of them are all greater than 0.9 respectively. In addition, the combination of gender, BMI, ALT, TG, HDL-C, TyG and TyG-BMI had a great diagnostic efficiency for MAFLD.Conclusions TyG and TG/HDL-C were potential risk factors for MAFLD and the former made a better performance in diagnosing MAFLD. The combination of gender, BMI, ALT, TG, HDL-C, TyG and TyG-BMI improved the diagnostic capability of MAFLD.
