Zusammenfassung: | BackgroundDiabetes mellitus (DM) refers to a group of metabolic disorders that share the phenotype of hyperglycemia. “Diabetic nephropathy (DN)" is a microvascular complication of DM, and it is the leading cause of end-stage renal failure. Increased urinary albumin excretion (UAE) and a decrease in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) are associated with DN along with elevated blood pressure and end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The purpose of this study is to analyze the prognostic significance of the monocyte-to-high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol ratio (MHR) in DN patients.Materials and methodsThis prospective observational study was carried out over a period of 1.5 years, with patients being followed up for three months. One hundred twenty participants were enrolled and allotted into groups based on the measure of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). The participants were categorized into healthy individuals, normoalbuminuric diabetic patients, microalbuminuric diabetic patients, and macroalbuminuric diabetic patients group. The MHR, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) were estimated and compared between the baseline measurements.ConclusionThe MHR, NLR, and PLR showed a positive correlation with UACR levels which could serve as an inflammatory marker and be used as an inexpensive and accessible prognostic marker in DN patients. |
