Background/aims: We have reported that the eGFR overestimates renal function when glycemic control is poor. It has been reported that eGFR calculated by serum creatinine underestimates GFR in living kidney donors. We compared the utility of the eGFR in diabetic patients, non-diabetic patients and living kidney donors. Forty diabetic patients, 40 non-diabetic patients, and 40 living kidney donors were enrolled.

Methods: GFR was measured by inulin clearance (C(in)). eGFR was calculated based on serum creatinine (eGFR(cr)) or serum cystatin C (eGFR(cys)). We compared the agreements between each of the eGFR and C(in) in each group.

Results: There were significant and positive correlations between each eGFR and C(in) in diabetic patients and non-diabetic patients. However, the intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC) between each eGFR and C(in) in diabetic patients (ICC: eGFR(cr) 0.699, eGFR(cys) 0.604) were weaker than those in non-diabetic patients (ICC: eGFR(cr) 0.865, eGFR(cys) 0.803). The correlation coefficients between each eGFR and C(in) (eGFR(cr); r = 0.422, p = 0.0067 and eGFR(cys); r = 0.358, p = 0.0522) in living kidney donors were significantly weaker than those in non-diabetic patients. The ICCs between each eGFR and C(in) (ICC: eGFR(cr) 0.340, eGFR(cys) 0.345) in living kidney donors were significantly weaker than those in non-diabetic patients.

Conclusions: Based on C(in), eGFR was accurate in non-diabetic patients. However, eGFR was inaccurate in living kidney donors and relatively inaccurate in diabetic patients.

Obesity, insulin resistance, and a host of environmental and genetic factors can drive hyperglycemia, causing β-cells to compensate by increasing insulin production and secretion. In type 2 diabetes (T2D), β-cells under these conditions eventually fail. Rare β-cell diseases like congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) also cause inappropriate insulin secretion, and some HI patients develop diabetes.

Association Between High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Length of Hospital Stay in Acute Pancreatitis: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Int J Gen Med

December 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Ningbo No. 2 Hospital, Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, 315010, People's Republic of China.

Background: Acute pancreatitis (AP) is a complex inflammatory disorder with varying degrees of severity, impacting patient recovery and healthcare resource utilization. The length of hospital stay (LOS) is a pivotal indicator of recovery, and identifying factors influencing LOS can offer insights into AP management. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), known for its cardioprotective properties, has been posited to influence AP outcomes; however, its relationship with LOS remains unclear.

Impaired sensitivity to thyroid hormone is associated with developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in euthyroid diabetic subjects.

Front Endocrinol (Lausanne)

January 2025

Department of Endocrinology and Metabolism, Endocrine and Metabolic Disease Medical Center, Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital, The Affiliated Hospital to Nanjing University Medical School, Nanjing, China.

Background And Aims: Acquired resistance to thyroid hormone appears to exist in the general population. We aimed to evaluate the association between indices of thyroid hormone sensitivity and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and made stratified analyses by diabetic status.

Methods: We included 26,413 participants from a health screening program and 8,246 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes.

Background: The relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with osteoporotic fractures (OPFs) remains complex and heterogeneous, specifically between the genders. This study aimed to explore the association between diabetes status and trochanteric BMD in a cohort of patients with OPFs and elucidate the differences between male and female patients.

Methods: This retrospective analysis was performed on 710 admitted patients aged 50 years or older with OPFs.
