Decrease in toe pinch force in male type 2 diabetic patients with diabetic nephropathy

Abstract: We found in male patients with diabetic nephropathy, the TPF and KEF decreased with progression of diabetic nephropathy. Furthermore, our findings suggest diabetic nephropathy and DPN are critically involved in the reduction of TPF and KEF.

“…This phenomenon occurs even in patients with mild renal impairment [29]. Furthermore, trace albuminuria is associated with endothelial dysfunction, sarcopenia, and muscle strength [3032], suggesting that peripheral tissue abnormalities may also affect fatigability in early-stage patients, such as our participants. In other words, the complications of DKD contribute to the process of increased fatigability in T2DM and enhance fatigability by inducing biological changes in peripheral tissues due to the complications of CKD.…”

“…The cross-sectional studies using MRI have reported that DPN is associated with reduced muscle mass [ 33 ] and increased intramuscular fat [ 32 ] compared with those without DPN. A previous cross-sectional study using foot muscle strength as an outcome, which included only male patients with T2DM, reported that toe pinch force was reduced by having DPN [ 14 ]. However, it should be noted that the study subjects were only males and that adjustment for confounding factors was insufficient, with adjustment only for age and BMI.…”

“…Previously, we compared TPF between patients with T2DM and healthy individuals, and our findings showed that the TPF in patients with T2DM was significantly lower than that in healthy individuals, indicating that diabetes is strongly associated with TPF reduction [ 15 ]. In addition, a previous study investigating TPF in patients with diabetic nephropathy of stages 1 to 3 has shown that diabetic nephropathy is strongly associated with toe muscle weakness [ 30 ]. Thus, the further decrease in TPF in chronic hemodialysis patients with T2DM in this study is expected.…”
