Is there a relationship between serum vaspin levels and insulin resistance in chronic renal failure?

Abstract

Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients have insulin secretion disorders and resistance to insulin effects, that is responsible for the development of cardiovascular events. Vaspin is an adipocytokine that regulates glucose and lipid metabolism. We aimed to determine the serum vaspin levels and its relationship with insulin resistance in CKD patients.
 Methods: In the study groups, serum vaspin levels, anthropometric parameters and routine blood tests were measured. The serum vaspin levels were examined by the enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and insulin resistance was determined by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) formula.
 Results: The serum vaspin, HOMA-IR index and insulin levels were observed significantly high in the CKD group in comparison with the control group. No correlation was found between the serum vaspin level and the anthropometric and metabolic values. The serum vaspin level was positively correlated with the fasting plasma glucose and age but without statistical significance.
 Conclusion: Insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia contribute to the development of cardiovascular complications in CKD. We consider that the increase in the serum vaspin level is a consequence of the reduced renal excretion in the CKD and increases in response to insulin resistance.

The Prevalence of Potential Drug-Drug Interactions in CKD-A Retrospective Observational Study of Cerrahpasa Nephrology Unit

“…The patients with solitary hypertension and combined diabetes had the most significant number of moderate interactions, followed by diabetes alone (minor DDIs). Moreover, the literature indicated that CKD patients with insulin resistance or hyperinsulinemia are more at risk of developing cardiovascular events [29]. The large number of drugs prescribed to patients with hypertension and diabetes mellitus can be attributed to beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors, hypolipidemic agents, calcium channel blockers, insulin, and anticoagulants to decrease the risk of various complications.…”

Evaluation of Lipocalin-2 and Vaspin Levels in In Iraqi Women with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

“…Increased vaspin levels have been associated to obesity and insulin sensitivity [7,26]. Many studies [27,28] contradicted these findings, demonstrating no connection between vaspin levels and insulin sensitivity or obesity.…”

Exploratory Study on Screening Chronic Renal Failure Based on Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy and a Support Vector Machine Algorithm

“…According to reports, lipid metabolism disorders are common in CRF patients, and with the deterioration of renal function, abnormal lipid metabolism is more significant [38]. Patients with CRF have higher lipid levels than the normal population possibly due to renal excretion disorders that cause lipids to accumulate [39]. Disorders of lipid metabolism in the serum of CRF patients will aggravate kidney disease, severely damage kidney function, and 4…”
