Implication

May reflect shared vascular pathology in diabetic nephropathy; hypothesis-generating for longitudinal studies on progression.

Structured PICO

Is brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity associated with the degree of albuminuria in patients with Type 2 diabetes?

P

Population

346 Type 2 diabetic patients without peripheral vascular disease, including those with normoalbuminuria (n=200), incipient nephropathy (n=119), and clinical nephropathy (n=27).

I

Intervention

Measurement of brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV) by automatic oscillometric method

C

Comparator

Comparison across different stages of albuminuria (normoalbuminuria vs. incipient nephropathy vs. clinical nephropathy)

O

Outcome

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (baPWV)surrogate

Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity is elevated in Type 2 diabetic patients with incipient and clinical nephropathy, suggesting a link between early atherosclerotic vascular damage and diabetic nephropathy.
