PG - 885516 LID - 10.3389/fendo.2022.885516 [doi] LID - 885516 AB - OBJECTIVE: High-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) is an inflammatory marker. This study aimed to identify the correlation between hs-CRP levels and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). MATERIALS/METHODS: This cross-sectional and observational study included 927 patients with T2DM. We collected the data of patients based on their medical data, including sociodemographic characteristics, concomitant diseases, laboratory results, and medical therapy. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was conducted to assess the relationship between hs-CRP levels and DKD. A restricted cubic spline (RCS) was used to assess the correlation of hs-CRP levels on a continuous scale with the DKD. RESULTS: In total, 927 patients were recruited in our study. The median age of the recruited patients was 55 years, and there were 346 female patients and 581 male patients. The hs-CRP levels were evidently higher in patients with DKD than those without DKD. After adjusting for age, sex, diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, body mass index, neck circumference, waist circumference, hypertension, duration of diabetes, common carotid artery plaque, fasting plasma glucose, glycated hemoglobin, hemoglobin, erythrocyte, leukocyte, gamma-glutamyl transferase, albumin, urea nitrogen, uric acid and triglyceride, a significant increase in the odds ratios (ORs) for DKD in the fourth hs-CRP quartile compared with the first quartile was observed (P value for trend= 0.003), and the ORs (95% confidence intervals) in the fourth quartile of hs-CRP were 1.968 (1.244-3.114) for DKD compared to the first quartile.. Moreover, the RCS curves presented a positive association between hs-CRP and DKD in total subjects, male subjects and female subjects, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The results of our study indicated that hs-CRP levels were significantly and positively correlated with the presence of DKD, which may provide predictive and diagnostic values in clinical practice.
