The relationship of Growth differentiation factor-15 with renal damage and dyslipidemia in non-albuminuric and albuminuric Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Aim of this study is to investigate the correlation of Growth differentiation factor-15 with renal damage and dyslipidemia in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus.
Material and Method: The study was conducted prospectively with patients diagnosed with Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. Two groups were formed as non-albuminuric (n:47) and albuminuric (n:24). Age, gender, Growth differentiation factor-15, glycemic index, lipid panel, glomerular filtration rate, complete blood count, urine albumin/creatin and urine protein/creatin of the groups were compared, and their correlations were examined.
Results: Growth differentiation factor-15, age, and hemoglobin A1c were found to be higher in the albuminuric group, and hemoglobin and hematocrit levels were found to be lower. A positive correlation of Growth differentiation factor-15 with spot urine albumin/creatin and protein/creatin was observed in the albuminuric group. In the non-albuminuric group, positive correlation was observed with Triglyceride and a negative correlation with high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. Negative correlation of Growth differentiation factor-15 glomerular filtration rate was detected in all participants.
Conclusions: Growth differentiation factor-15 has been found positively associated with albuminuria and high triglyceride levels in Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus. It is negatively correlated with glomerular filtration rate and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. It is strongly associated with renal damage and dyslipidemia.
