Association between serum alkaline phosphatase and renal outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.


ABSTRACT: This retrospective study included 299 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and biopsy-confirmed diabetic nephropathy (DN) to investigate the prognostic value of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) for renal outcome. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) for the serum ALP level on renal outcome, which was defined as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or a 50% decline in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) from baseline. The median baseline ALP was 80 IU/L with an interquartile range of 64-97 IU/L. Serum ALP was negatively associated with eGFR but positively associated with proteinuria and renal interstitial fibrosis. During a median follow-up period of 23 months, ESRD or a 50% declined in the eGFR occurred in 156 (52.2%) patients. The highest quartile of ALP was significantly associated with poor renal outcome, as defined above (HR 2.38, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.09-5.17), when adjusted for sociodemographics, baseline eGFR, proteinuria, liver function parameters, parathyroid hormone levels, and renal pathological findings. Each standard deviation higher in the natural log-transformed ALP was associated with a 25% increased risk for poor renal outcome. Additionally, there was a graded increase in the risk for poor renal outcome with higher ALP in patients with nephrotic-range proteinuria. However, no significant associations were observed between serum ALP levels and renal outcome in patients with non-nephrotic-range proteinuria. In conclusion, an elevated ALP level was independently associated with poor renal outcome in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and nephrotic-range proteinuria after multivariate adjustment.
