Albuminuria in patients with type 1 diabetes and reduced eGFR was associated with a higher rate of >30% eGFR loss over 4 years compared to normoalbuminuria (33.6% vs 10.5%, OR 4.09).

Why the study?

Does albuminuria predict a faster eGFR decline in patients with T1DM and reduced eGFR compared to normoalbuminuria?

Population

1,395 adults with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus and eGFR ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, mean age 63, 46.9% male, from 295…

Key result

Albuminuria in patients with type 1 diabetes and reduced eGFR was associated with a higher rate of >30% eGFR loss over 4 years compared to normoalbuminuria (33.6% vs 10.5%, OR 4.09).

Overview

Normoalbuminuric kidney impairment in T1DM may progress more slowly; leaves open distinct risk stratification and targeted trials for this common phenotype.

Population
1,395 adults (≥18 years) with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) and eGFR ≤ 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, mean age 63, 46.9% male, from 295 diabetes clinics in Italy.

C
Comparator
Normoalbuminuria

Outcome

Main Result

Effect estimate: OR 4.09 (95% CI 2.22-7.56)

Absolute Event Rate: 33.6% vs 10.5%

p-value: p=<0.001

In patients with T1DM and reduced eGFR, normoalbuminuric kidney impairment is common (about 50%) and is associated with a significantly slower eGFR decline compared to albuminuric kidney impairment.

Limitations

  • Laboratory variables were not centralized, potentially causing variability in the creatinine assay
  • Patients were classified using only one measurement of albuminuria
  • Lack of information on previous cardiovascular events, cancer, infection and hospitalization during the follow-up period
  • Lack of historical albuminuria data
  • Lack of information on duration of smoking habit
  • Laboratory variables not centralized
  • Single measurement of albuminuria
  • Lack of information on previous cardiovascular events, cancer, infection and hospitalization

Cite This Study

Lamacchia et al. (2018) conducted an observational in Type 1 diabetes mellitus with reduced GFR (n=1,395). Albuminuria vs. Normoalbuminuria was evaluated on Loss of eGFR > 30% over 4 years (OR 4.09, 95% CI 2.22-7.56, p=<0.001). Albuminuria in patients with type 1 diabetes and reduced eGFR was associated with a higher rate of >30% eGFR loss over 4 years compared to normoalbuminuria (33.6% vs 10.5%, OR 4.09).
