PG - e0237109 LID - 10.1371/journal.pone.0237109 [doi] LID - e0237109 AB - INTRODUCTION: There is no evidence on the role of Human Anti Nucleolus Antibody (ANCAb) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We compared prevalence and concentration of ANCAb between age and a gender-matched sample of T2DM with and without diabetes-related complications. METHODS: In this study, the reaction to ANCAb was compared quantitatively between 38 T2DM patients complicated with microvascular conditions and 43 T2DM without complications as controls. RESULTS: The patients in complicated and non-complicated groups were comparable in diabetes duration (9.0 vs. 5.0 years; P = 0.065), respectively. The study found that 27 cases (71.1%) of the complicated group reacted to ANCAb test compared to 25 (58.1%) in non-complicated patients (P = 0.226; 3.53 vs. 2.72 ng/mL; P = 0.413). The reaction response to ANCAb in patients with neuropathy and cardiovascular complications was 80.0%, 76.2% in patients with neuropathy compared to 58.1% in the control group (P = 0.398). The reaction response to ANCAb in patients with mono-complication was 72.7% compared 68.8% in patients with multi-complication (P = 0.466). Similarly, 76.2% of patients with T2DM and complicated with neuropathy (n = 21 patients) reacted to ANCAb compared to 58.1% in control patients with (P = 0.158). CONCLUSIONS: Reaction to ANCAb was not statistically different between the T2DM patients with and without complications.
