Evaluation of the components of insulin‐like growth factor (IGF)‐IGF binding protein (IGFBP) system in adolescents with type 1 diabetes and persistent microalbuminuria: relationship with increased urinary excretion of IGFBP‐3 18 kD N‐terminal fragment

Abstract: Patients with MA showed higher levels of urinary IGFBP-3 (649 +/- 440 ng/h/m2) than patients without MA (398 +/- 229 ng/h/m2; P < 0.05). Urinary levels of IGFBP-3 were directly correlated to UAE (P < 0.001). WIB analysis, using monoclonal antibodies directed against characterized N-terminal and C-terminal IGFBP-3 epitopes, determined that the immunoreactive form of IGFBP-3 found in urine from patients with diabetes was an N-terminal 18 kD fragment. Serum IGFBP-3 levels were lower in patients with MA (baseline:… Show more

“…Another explanation for low IGF-I concentrations in patients with type 1 diabetes could be increased elimination as a result of proteolysis of IGFBP-3 or increased excretion of IGF-I by the kidneys as a result of diabetic nephropathy (34). However, in normoalbuminuric patients, IGFBP-3 proteolysis is not increased (34,35) and in our study we found no difference in IGF-I concentrations in patients with or without albuminuria. The available data thus suggest insuf®cient portal concentrations of insulin as the most probable cause of low plasma IGF-I in adult patients with type 1 diabetes of long duration.…”

“…Doublier et al provided the first evidence that the lesions of glomerulosclerosis are related to a reduction in circulating IGF-I and an increase in IGFBP-1 levels (11). The same clinical picture (reduced circulating IGF-I and increased IGFBP-1 levels) has been found in human diabetics that develop microalbuminuria (12,13).…”

“…Uremic diabetic adults excrete IGFBP-3, as do type 1 diabetic adolescents with microalbuminuria, patients whose urinary levels of IGFBP-3 correlate directly to urinary albumin excretion [27]. Elevated levels of IGFBP fragments have been identified in urine from non-diabetic children with acute renal failure due to increased IGFBP-3 protease activity [28,29].…”
