Abstract EN
Matrix metalloproteinase-2 (MMP2) has been implicated in chronic disease and cardiovascular disease.
However, there is no knowledge about the correlations between serum levels of MMP-2, proteinuria and atherosclerosis in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
We investigated whether serum MMP-2 levels were associated with proteinuria, intima-media thickness (IMT) in DN patients.
Diabetic patients not on hemodialysis (n = 50) were enrolled for the study.
MMP-2 levels were measured using an ELISA system.
IMT was evaluated by highresolution ultrasonography.
Univariate analyses revealed that MMP-2 (P = 0.013) were independent correlates of proteinuria.
Further, multivariate analyses revealed that MMP-2 levels (P = 0.001) were independent correlates of IMT.
MMP-2 levels were significantly (P = 0.001) higher in patients with atherosclerosis than those without it.
The present study demonstrates that serum levels of MMP-2 were one of the independent correlates of proteinuria and IMT in patients with DN.
Our results suggest that serum MMP-2 levels may be one of the risk factors for renal damage and atherosclerosis in DN patients.
