Abstract EN
This retrospective study investigated whether podocalyxin expression in renal biopsies and urine of patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN) is associated with renal function.
This retrospective study included 32 patients with nephropathy, secondary to type 2 diabetes treated at the First Hospital of Lanzhou University (January 2010 to January 2015).
Compared with the control group, the DN group had a significantly lower renal expression of podocalyxin and higher urinary podocalyxin/creatinine ratio.
Patients with DN were divided into the high and low expression groups according to podocalyxin expression in renal tissues.
Patients in the low expression group had longer diabetes duration, lower plasma albumin and eGFR, higher glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), 24 h urinary protein, serum creatinine, and urinary podocalyxin/creatinine ratio, and more severe glomerular, tubulointerstitial, and renal interstitial inflammation than patients in the high expression group (all P<0.01).
The renal survival rate was significantly lower in the low expression group than in the high expression group (P<0.01).
Single-factor Cox regression analysis showed that reduced podocalyxin expression and increased urinary podocalyxin excretion were associated with poor renal outcome.
Measuring podocalyxin levels in renal tissues and urine could help evaluate the progression of DN.
