Predictors of the rate of renal function decline in non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. 1997

University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, USA.

A multivariate analysis of 263 Mexican-American, African-American, and Non-Hispanic white non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus patients with end-stage renal disease revealed that in subjects following a linear course of decline of renal function, Mexican-American ethnicity (p = 0.0503) and female sex (p = 0.0036) hasten the rate of decline of renal function, while age (p = 0.0004), hypertension duration (p = 0.0058), and diabetes duration (p = 0.0587) slow the rate of decline of renal function. Blood pressure and glycemic control do not predict the rate of decline. These data suggest that ethnicity and sex-related factors may be as important as blood pressure and glycemic control during the course of non-insulin-dependent diabetic nephropathy.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

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.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
