PG - 400-405 LID - 10.1055/a-1532-4576 [doi] AB - The aim of this study was to determine whether carbohydrate antigen 72-4 (CA72-4) is elevated in diabetic kidney disease (DKD), and examine the association between urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and CA72-4 in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Non-dialysis patients with T2DM (n=296) and 90 healthy controls were recruited in this study. CA72-4 level was measured by electrochemiluminescence immunoassay. DKD was defined as UACR>/= 30 mg/g in the absence of a urinary infection or other renal diseases. We found that patients with DKD had significantly higher serum CA72-4 levels compared to those with normoalbuminuria and healthy controls. Positive rates of CA72-4 increased gradually and markedly from normoalbuminuria to microalbuminuria and to macroalbuminuria in diabetic patients (7.5, 11.2, and 17.4%, respectively; P for trend< 0.05). CA72-4 also showed a positive correlation with UACR (r=0.288, P< 0.01). Logistic regression analysis revealed the association of increased UACR with an increased odds ratio of elevation of CA72-4 levels (P for trend< 0.05) after multivariable adjustment. In conclusion, serum levels of CA72-4 increase abnormally with the increase in urinary albumin excretion, which affects the specificity of diagnosis of malignancies. An appropriate interpretation of CA72-4 is essential to prevent unnecessary and even hazardous diagnostic procedures in patients with T2DM. CI - Thieme. All rights reserved.
