Background and aims: Microalbuminuria (MA) is not specific predictor of early stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetes. We investigate several markers that might be useful in assessing early kidney damage in T1DM and T2DM patients additional to MA.Materials and methods: We examined 111 patients (T1DM/T2DM: 51/60) with AER<20 mg/l (n=80); <199 mg/l (n=18); ≥200 mg/l (n=13). Biomarkers of kidney damage (c...

Background and aims: To evaluate the level of tubular and glomerular biomarkers of kidney injury as potential nephroprorotective effects of GLP-1R agonist (liraglutide) addition in type 1 diabetic patients compared to standard insulin therapy.Materials and methods: 12 T1DM patients with normo-(AER <20 mg/l, n=7) and microalbuminuria (AER<199 mg/l, n=5) with liraglutide 1.2 mg as add on to insulin for 6 month and 12 patients with...

Aim: To assess the association of the endothelial dysfunction (ED) parameters and the lipid-lowering response to atorvastatin therapy in patients with T2D with genetic markers of inflammation.Methods: We include 97 T2D patients with first prescribed atorvastatin 10–20 mg: M/F 26/71; mean age 57 years. After 12 month of statin therapy, patients had fasting lipid profiles and ED parameters repeated. For ED evaluation, we performed pulse wave analysis ...

Aim: To evaluate the effect of PPARG2 Pro12Ala, TNFα G(308)A and G(238)A, LIPC C(-514)T, ACE I/D, SLCO1B1 Val174Ala polymorphism on the response to statins therapy in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).Methods: We consecutively recruited patients with type 2 DM requiring lipid-lowering therapy according to current guidelines. Patients were started on either atorvastatin 10 or 20 mg. After 12 month of st...
