Abstract

Background: It is important to identify additional prognostic factors for diabetic kidney disease. Materials & methods: Baseline levels of ten cytokines (APRIL/TNFSF13, BAFF/TNFSF13B, chitinase 3-like 1, LIGHT/TNFSF14, TWEAK/TNFSF12, gp130/sIL-6Rβ, sCD163, sIL-6Rα, sTNF-R1, sTNF-R2) were measured in two cohorts of diabetic patients. In one cohort (n = 777), 156 individuals were randomly sampled after stratification and their plasma samples were analyzed; in the other cohort (n = 69), serum samples were analyzed in all the individuals. The levels of cytokines between rapid (estimated glomerular filtration rate decline >5 ml/min/1.73 m2/year) and non-rapid decliners were compared. Results: Multivariate analysis demonstrated significantly high levels of LIGHT/TNFSF14, TWEAK/TNFSF12 and sTNF-R2 in rapid decliners. Conclusion: These three cytokines can be potential biomarkers for the progression of diabetic kidney disease.
