PG - 29-34 LID - 10.4183/aeb.2022.29 [doi] AB - AIMS: This study investigated the relationship between proteinuria levels, clinicopathological features, and renal prognoses in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and diabetic nephropathy (DN). METHODS: Three hundred patients with T2DM and biopsy-proven DN were enrolled. Patients were stratified by 24-h proteinuria levels: Group 1:/=3g/24h. Renal outcomes were defined as having reached end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The proteinuria level's influence on the renal outcomes was evaluated using Cox regression analysis. RESULTS: Among subgroups stratified by proteinuria levels, systolic blood pressure, serum creatinine, BUN, cholesterol, DR and hypertension incidence, the incidences of patients who progressed to ESRD were the lowest in group 1 (P<0.05). However, eGFR, serum albumin and hemoglobin were highest in group 1. Patients with higher proteinuria levels had much lower five-year renal survival rates. Univariate analyses revealed that higher proteinuria levels were significant clinical predictors of renal prognosis (P<0.05), although they were not independent risk factors for progression to ESRD in the multivariate Cox proportional hazard analysis (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The higher the level of proteinuria, the lower the 5-year renal survival rate of DN patients, but there was no significant correlation between proteinuria level and 5-year renal survival rate. Other factors in the proteinuria group may have more significant effects on the 5-year renal survival rate, such as lower baseline eGFR, serum albumin, hemoglobin and higher cholesterol, higher incidences of DR and more severe lesions.
