Current Metabolic Status Affects Urinary Liver-Type Fatty-Acid Binding Protein in Normoalbuminuric Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: BackgroundWe aimed to study the association between urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), a biomarker of tubulointerstitial injury, and the clinical characteristics of normoalbuminuric and albuminuric patients with type 2 diabetes in order to detect the factors affecting urinary L-FABP.MethodsUrinary L-FABP levels were measured in 788 patients with type 2 diabetes and again in 666 patients at 6 months after the initial measurement. The association between the urinary L-FABP level and the clin… Show more

“…Several studies have proved that L-FABP is a promising biomarker of various kidney diseases as type 2 diabetes, vesicoureteral reflux, and B12 deficiency [21][22][23]. In the current study, urinary L-FABP was significantly higher in T1D subjects than in controls and also in the diabetic group it was significantly higher in microalbuminuric than in normoalbuminuric diabetic subjects.…”

“…We further classified all subjects into 2 groups: case group with 90 patients with DN and control group with 96 DM patients without DN, according to their 24-hour urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and serum creatinine. [ 16 18 ] Patients who were classified as the case group fulfilled any of the following 3 criteria: the average ACR was >300 μg/mg; the BUN was >20 mg/dL; and the serum creatinine was >1.7 mg/dL. The rest of the patients were classified as the control group without DN.…”

“…The urinary L-FABP as well as uPE and uACR values were reduced by luseogliflozin in the present study, regardless of the eGFR at the baseline. While albuminuria reflects the glomerular injury in the kidneys, urinary L-FABP from proximal tubules is increased under conditions in which fatty acids are loaded into the proximal tubules, such as conditions of ischemia and exposure to nephrotoxic substances [37][38][39]. The interstitium, including the renal tubules but not the glomeruli, anatomically occupies most of the kidney, and tubulointerstitial injury is known to be more closely related to the renal prognosis than to glomerular lesions in patients with chronic kidney disease [46].…”
