Tubular markers do not predict the decline in glomerular filtration rate in type 1 diabetic patients with overt nephropathy.
2011
Recent studies have shown that both glomerular and tubulointerstitial damage are important factors in the pathophysiology and progression of diabetic nephropathy. To examine whether markers of tubular damage are useful in monitoring the progression of disease, we measured urinary levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-fatty acid-binding protein (LFABP), and kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) in a 3-year intervention study of 63 type 1 diabetic patients with kidney disease. The baseline mean glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was 87 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) and urinary albumin excretion 1141 mg/24 h. Patients with the highest compared with the lowest quartile of urinary N…
The effect of RAAS blockade on markers of renal tubular damage in diabetic nephropathy: u-NGAL, u-KIM1 and u-LFABP.

Blockade of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) affects both the glomerulus and tubules. We aimed to investigate the effect of irbesartan on the tubular markers: urinary (u) neutrophil gelatinase associated protein (NGAL), Kidney injury molecule 1 (KIM1) and liver-fatty acid-binding protein (LFABP).A substudy of a double-masked, randomized, cross-over study including 52 patients with type 2 diabetes, hypertension and microalbuminuria. After 2 months washout of all antihypertensive medication except bendroflumethiazid, patients were treated in random order with irbesartan 300, 600 and 900 mg for 2 months.Urinary tubular markers at baseline and after each treatment period (ELISA),…
