PG - 420-428 LID - 10.33963/KP.15257 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Previous studies have shown that red blood cell distribution width (RDW) is an independent predictor of poor prognosis in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). The mechanisms underlying increased anisocytosis in patients with T2D and confirmed ASCVD remain poorly understood. AIMS: We sought to evaluate the relationship among the leptin-to-adiponectin ratio, systemic low -grade inflammation, and RDW in optimally treated patients with T2D and established ASCVD. METHODS: A total of 68 patients, aged 47 to 85 years (mean [SD], 65.3 [6.8] years) and including 21 women (30.9%), were enrolled and grouped according to median RDW into those with RDW <13.5% (n = 33) and those with RDW >/=13.5% (n = 35). RESULTS: Patients with RDW >/=13.5% had a significantly higher median (interquartile range [IQR]) serum leptin-to-adiponectin ratio (1.7 [0.49-2.3] ng/mug vs 0.66 [0.31-1.25] ng/mug; P = 0.04) and median (IQR) tumor necrosis factor alpha levels (1.58 [1.42-1.97] pg/ml vs 1.39 [1.18-1.57] pg/ml; P = 0.02). There were no significant differences in the concentrations of other inflammatory markers. The leptin-to-adiponectin ratio (r = 0.25; P = 0.04) and levels of tumor necrosis factor alpha (r = 0.32; P = 0.01) and soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (r = 0.31; P = 0.01) were positively correlated with RDW, which was confirmed by univariate linear regression analysis. A multivariable regression model, which included demographic, clinical, and laboratory data, showed that white blood cell count (beta = 0.25; 95% CI, 0.05-0.45; P = 0.01), soluble intercellular adhesion molecule 1 levels (beta = 0.21; 95% CI, 0.02-0.41; P = 0.03), and mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC), (beta = -0.48; 95% CI, 0.67 to -0.28; P < 0.001) were independent predictors of RDW in our patients. CONCLUSIONS: In well-controlled patients with T2D and ASCVD, the RDW values are associated with leptin-to-adiponectin imbalance and selected inflammatory markers.
