چکیده
BACKGROUND Measurement of urinary albumin excretion (UAE) shows important intra-individual variability suggesting the need for multiple assessments. This study aimed at investigating the reproducibility of UAE in type 2 diabetes. METHODS UAE was obtained from two to three samples collected in a 3- to 6-month period from 4062 of the 15 773 type 2 diabetic subjects participating in the Renal Insufficiency And Cardiovascular Events (RIACE) Italian Multicentre Study in 2007-08. UAE was assessed as albumin excretion rate (AER) in 24-h urine collections from 833 subjects and albumin:creatinine ratio (A/C) in early-morning urine samples from 3229 patients. Albuminuria was measured by immunonephelometry or immunoturbidimetry. RESULTS The median coefficient of variation (CV) was 32.5% (interquartile range: 14.3-58.9). Concordance rate between a single UAE and the geometric mean of multiple measurements was 94.6% for normoalbuminuria, 83.5% for microalbuminuria, 91.1% for macroalbuminuria and 90.6% for albuminuria (micro + macro). CV was significantly higher (P < 0.01) for AER measurement than for A/C and with immunoturbidimetry than with immunonephelometry, whereas concordance rates were similar between the two modalities of urine collection and the two assay methods. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) plots demonstrated a good performance of single UAE in predicting the geometric mean of multiple measures at the cut-off level of both microalbuminuria (ROC(AUC) 0.926; 95% confidence interval: 0.915-0.937) and macroalbuminuria (ROC(AUC) 0.950; 95% confidence interval: 0.927-0.973). CONCLUSIONS Data from this large cohort indicate that, in type 2 diabetic subjects, a single UAE value, thought to be encumbered with high intra-individual variability, is an accurate predictor of nephropathy stage for clinical and epidemiological purposes.

RESEARCHDESIGNANDMETHODSdSerial (3–5) HbA1c values collected in a 2-year period before enrollment were available from 8,260 subjects from 9 centers (of 15,773 patients from 19 centers). HbA1c variability was measured as the intraindividual SD of 4.52 6 0.76 values. Diabetic retinopathy (DR) was assessed by dilated funduscopy.

OBJECTIVE Atherogenic dyslipidemia seems to play a major role in microvascular complications and in residual microvascular risk after statin therapy, which reduces triglycerides up to 40%. We assessed whether raised TG levels are associated with an increased burden from microvascular complications in patients with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Subjects from the Renal Insufficiency And Cardiovascul...

OBJECTIVEdAlthough a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was shown to be a powerful independent predictor of cardiovascular disease (CVD), other studies suggested that it confers a much lower risk than albuminuria alone, whereas the combination of the two abnormalities is associated with multiplicative risk. This study aimed at assessing the independent association of previous C...

BACKGROUND Previous reports have clearly indicated a significant relationship between hemoglobin (Hb) A1c change from one visit to the next and microvascular complications, especially nephropathy (albuminuria and albuminuric chronic kidney disease, CKD). In contrast, data on macrovascular disease are less clear. This study was aimed at examining the association of HbA1c variability with cardiov...
