The variation of urinary C-peptide clearance in relation to hyperglycemia and renal damage was evaluated in 57 patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) with and without overt proteinuria, 14 nondiabetic patients with renal disease (RD) and 18 healthy control subjects. Urinary C-peptide clearance expressed as the ratio of urinary C-peptide to creatinine clearance (CCP/CCR) in the fasting state did not differ in control subjects and RD patients, and was higher equally in NIDDM patients with and without proteinuria. In NIDDM patients without overt proteinuria, urinary levels of C-peptide, beta 2-microglobulin (B2M), N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) and albumin as well as CCP/CCR ratio all decreased significantly with short-term glycemic control (P less than 0.05). Despite a wide range of CCP/CCR ratio (0.07-0.73), a weak but significant correlation (r = 0.56, P less than 0.005) was found between fasting serum and urinary C-peptide levels in NIDDM patients. These results suggest that urinary C-peptide may easily be affected by hyperglycemia per se rather than renal damage, while urinary B2M, NAG and albumin may be affected by both hyperglycemia and renal damage. When the urinary C-peptide level is interpreted, the influence of hyperglycemia on it must be taken into consideration.

D002096	C-Peptide	The middle segment of proinsulin that is between the N-terminal B-chain and the C-terminal A-chain. It is a pancreatic peptide of about 31 residues, depending on the species. Upon proteolytic cleavage of proinsulin, equimolar INSULIN and C-peptide are released. C-peptide immunoassay has been used to assess pancreatic beta cell function in diabetic patients with circulating insulin antibodies or exogenous insulin. Half-life of C-peptide is 30 min, almost 8 times that of insulin.	Proinsulin C-Peptide,C-Peptide, Proinsulin,Connecting Peptide,C Peptide,C Peptide, Proinsulin,Proinsulin C Peptide

D003924	Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2	A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
