Glomerular and Tubular Proteinuria in Type 1 (Insulin-Dependent) Diabetic Patients with and without Retinopathy

Abstract: SUMMARY. We compared the urinary excretion of albumin, transferrin, N-acetyl--D-glucosaminidase and o-l-microglcbulin in 78 Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetic patients: 39 with retinopathy and 39 without. The two groups were matched for age, sex and duration of diabetes. The patients with retinopathy had increased excretion (median and range) of albumin [1'7 (0' 3-399·1) versus 1·0 (0' 3-116'6) mg/mmol creatinine, P<0'05j, transferrin [114'2 (4'1-37126'2) versus 33·4 (1'0-4176'7) JLg/mmol creatinine, P< 0'01]… Show more

“…67,68 Moreover, in macroalbuminuric diabetic patients, urinary transferrin excretion is positively correlated with UAE. [69][70][71] However, transferrinuria also occurs in primary glomerulonephritis, as well as systemic diseases which secondarily affect the glomerulus, thus underscoring its lack of specificity to DN. 72 Urinary IgG is another related biomarker.…”

“…Because diabetic patients are more likely to have transferrinuria than albuminuria [44, 4954], and because the albumin/transferrin ratio was significantly smaller in normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric compared to macroalbuminuric patients, urinary transferrin is considered to be a more sensitive marker of glomerular damage in diabetic patients [44, 5054]. Furthermore, increased urinary transferrin excretion predicts the development of microalbuminuria in type 2 diabetic patients with normoalbuminuria [55, 56]; in patients that already developed albuminuria, the urinary transferrin excretion has a linear relationship with UAE [39, 40, 42–44, 47, 50, 53, 5760]. …”

“…Our results may thus be important. Other proteins were associated with renal lesions in nontransplanted populations: urinary transferrin excretion (linked to early glomerular change in diabetic patients [6,7]), nephrinuria (associated to glomerular damage in diabetic patients [8]), matrix metalloproteinase-9 and tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases-1 (associated to renal scarring [9] or urinary cystatine C [10]). Whether these proteins play a role in renal function degradation is presently unknown in renal transplantation.…”
