Clinical and genetic determinants of urinary glucose excretion in patients with diabetes mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Glucosuria is a representative symptom in diabetes patients with poor glycemic control and in those treated with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. Renal threshold levels of glucose excretion are known to vary among individuals, but factors contributing to glucosuria are not well characterized. The present study aimed to clarify clinical and genetic determinants of glucosuria in individuals with diabetes mellitus.

Materials and methods

The 24-h urinary glucose excretion was measured in 135 hospitalized patients on admission, with continuous measurement for five consecutive days in 75 patients. Genetic and clinical factors contributing to glucosuria were studied. As a genetic factor, SLC5A2 polymorphism was genotyped. A total of 476 participants (266 participants with type 2 diabetes and 210 healthy controls) were additionally genotyped for the association study of SLC5A2 with type 2 diabetes. A meta-analysis was carried out with the present study and previous association studies.

Results

Multiple regression analysis showed that the independent variables of average blood glucose (β = 0.41, P = 1.4 × 10^-7 ), estimated glomerular filtration rate (β = 0.28, P = 6.0 × 10^-5 ), sex (β = 0.28, P = 5.7 × 10^-5 ) and SLC5A2 rs9934336 polymorphism (β = 0.17, P = 0.02) were significantly correlated with urinary glucose excretion. The frequency of the A allele of rs9934336 tended to be lower in participants with type 2 diabetes than in controls (odds ratio 0.78, 95% confidence interval 0.53-1.13, not significant), and meta-analysis showed a significant association between the A allele and type 2 diabetes (summary odds ratio for minor allele [A] 0.86, 95% confidence interval 0.78-0.94, P < 0.002).

Conclusions

Blood glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate, sex and SLC5A2 polymorphism were independent determinants of glucosuria in diabetes mellitus.

Project description:BackgroundNonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) showed significant association with PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism in unrelated individuals. However, it is still unknown whether the relationship of NAFLD with PNPLA3 variant exists or not among subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Therefore, the study aimed to evaluate sociodemographic and genetic determinants of NAFLD in type 2 diabetics.MethodsThe cross-sectional analytical study was conducted at the Department of Molecular Biology, Virtual University of Pakistan, Lahore, Pakistan, during 2019-2020. A total of 153 known cases of T2DM were enrolled using convenience sampling. After excluding patients (n = 24) with HCV, alcoholism, or missing information, data from 129 eligible diabetics with and without NAFLD were analyzed using SPSS. Odds ratios using crosstabs and adjusted odds ratios using binary and multinomial logistic regression were calculated to measure the risk of NAFLD.ResultsAdults 18-35 years were 7.0%, 36-55 years were 64.3%, ≥ 56 years were 28.7%, and females were 66.7%. A total of 41.1% of patients had obesity, 52.7% had NAFLD, and 29.05% carried mutant G allele of rs738409 polymorphism. Among overall diabetics, NAFLD showed association with female (OR = 2.998, p = 0.007), illiterate (OR = 3.067, p = 0.005), and obese (OR = 2.211, p = 0.046) but not with PNPLA3 genotype under any model (all p = > 0.05). Among obese diabetics, NAFLD showed association with female (AOR = 4.010, p = 0.029), illiterate (AOR = 3.506, p = 0.037), GG + CG/CC (AOR = 3.303, p = 0.033), and GG/CG + CC (AOR = 4.547, p = 0.034) using binary regression and with female (AOR = 3.411, p = 0.051), illiterate (AOR = 3.323, p = 0.048), GG + CG/CC (AOR = 3.270, p = 0.029), and GG/CG + CC (AOR = 4.534, p = 0.024) using multinomial regression.ConclusionsNAFLD and obesity were the most common comorbid diseases of T2DM. Gender female, being illiterate, and PNPLA3 rs738409 polymorphism were significant risk factors of NAFLD among obese diabetic patients.
