    Notes: Summary Renal hyperfunction and hypertrophy are characteristic findings in the early diabetic state, both in diabetes mellitus and in experimental diabetes. A number of structure-function relationships and their likely mechanisms are discussed. The metabolically induced hypertrophy of glomerular capillaries possibly plays a central role. Its cause is not known, but recent results on its time-course emphasize the probable long-term consequences of the irreversibility of the accumulation of basement membrane material.

    Notes: Summary The effect of intravenous injection of insulin on heart rate, plasma noradrenaline and urinary excretion rates of albumin and beta-2-microglobulin was examined in 10 long-term diabetics, 5 of whom had albuminuria. — In patients without albuminuria intravenous injection of insulin resulted in changes similar to but less pronounced than those previously observed in short-term diabetics: albumin excretion, plasma noradrenaline and heart rate increased, creatinine excretion decreased significantly. —Intravenous injection of insulin increased heart rate but not plasma noradrenaline in long-term diabetics with albuminuria. Arterial blood pressure did not change after insulin. Contrary to expectation insulin decreased urinary albumin excretion (from 418 to 312 μg/min, 27 per cent) in these patients. There was a marked decrease in urinary excretion rates of beta-2-microglobulin and creatinine (55 and 17 per cent, respectively) after insulin. — The decrease in albumin excretion after insulin in diabetics with albuminuria is most likely due to renal vasoconstriction. The absence of a rise in albumin excretion after insulin may be due to severe morphological changes in glomeruli in these patients.

    Notes: Summary The effect of IV injection of 7 to 8 I. U. of insulin on renal haemodynamics and on urinary excretion of beta-2-microglobulin and of albumin was examined in 5 juvenile diabetics. Plasma glucose decreased from a mean value of 250 mg/100 ml to 117 mg/100 ml during the first 85 min after insulin. None of the patients had symptoms of hypoglycaemia and plasma adrenaline did not increase. There was no change in arterial blood pressure after insulin whereas pulse rate increased from 66/min to a maximum of 75/min. Glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and renal plasma flow (RPF) were decreased by 9 per cent and 13 per cent, respectively, during the first 90 min after insulin (2p 〈 0.01). There was also a statistically significant decrease in urine flow and urine secretion of several electrolytes, while filtration fraction remained almost constant. IV insulin decreased urinary excretion of beta-2-microglobulin and increased albumin excretion (2 p 〈 0.05). The albumin excretion induced by insulin is most likely due to increased amounts of filtered albumin, the mechanism of which remains unexplained.

    Notes: Summary We report on a study in which 487 Danish general practitioners participated with the purpose of including all newly-diagnosed diabetic patients aged 40 years or more from a well-defined catchment population during a welldefined time period. A, total of 1267 diabetic patients with a median age of 65.3 years were included. Renal involvement was assessed from the albumin/creatinine ratio in a morning urine sample. Albumin/creatinie ratio was 〈2/2〈20/≥20 mg/mmol in 59.8/33.6/6.6% of male and 66.6/28.8/4.6% of female patients. The level of albumin/creatinine ratio increased with age and the observed overall male predominance was almost confined to diabetic patients with an albumin/creatinine ratio of 5 mg/mmol or greater. By taking into account the confounding effect of age and sex, a positive association between smoking and albumin/creatinine ratio was disclosed. Moreover, high systolic blood pressure, hypertriglyceridaemia, hypercholesterolaemia (males only) and high HbA1c, but not body mass index or diastolic blood pressure were identified as correlates of elevated albumin/creatinine ratio. Glucosuria was positively correlated with albumin/creatinine ratio even when the influence of HbA1c, sex and age was taken into account. A positive correlation between serum creatinine and albumin/creatinine ratio was seen in males, but not in females. In addition, renal involvement was associated with the presence of peripheral angiopathy and diabetic retinopathy and with high resting heart rate. The cross-sectional data presented highlight the importance of reducing the overall burden of modifiable risk factors in newly-diagnosed Type 2 diabetic patients.

    Notes: Summary In 1981–1982 urinary albumin excretion rates were determined in 211 diabetic and 216 non-diabetic subjects aged 60–74 years. By April 1992 122 diabetic and 58 non-diabetic probands had died. Dividing the two study populations at an albumin excretion rate of 15 μg/min showed that 69.3% of diabetic subjects with values at or above the limit, and 49.9% of those with values below (log rank testp=0.0082) had died. The corresponding values for non-diabetic subjects were 44.4% and 21.0%, respectively (log rank testp=0.0002). In single factor log rank tests ischaemic heart disease and a low value of HDL were also predictive of death in the diabetic population during a 10–11-year observation period. In the non-diabetic population ischaemic heart disease, hypertension, and a serum creatinine level above the median value were predictive. In further log rank analyses probands dying during the first years, (e.g. the first 2 years) were removed from the calculations. The prognostic value of the above-mentioned factors diminished with time. In a Cox Regression analysis we found that the predictive value of urinary albumin excretion rate to mortality had disappeared when subjects who had died during the first 5 years were removed from the analysis, whereas HDL in the diabetic patients and blood pressure and serum creatinine in non-diabetic subjects were still of significant predictive value. We therefore conclude that urinary albumin excretion rate is a more short-term predictor of mortality than previously thought, in contrast to HDL, hypertension and serum creatinine.

    Notes: Summary The effect of simvastatin (10–20 mg/day) on kidney function, urinary albumin excretion rate and insulin sensitivity was evaluated in 18 Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetic patients with microalbuminuria and moderate hypercholesterolaemia (total cholesterol ≥5.5 mmol·l−1). In a double-blind, randomized and placebo-controlled design treatment with simvastatin (n=8) for 36 weeks significantly reduced total cholesterol (6.7±0.3 vs 5.1 mmol·l−1 (p〈0.01)), LDL-cholesterol (4.4±0.3 vs 2.9±0.2 mmol·l−1 (p〈0.001)) and apolipoprotein B (1.05±0.04 vs 0.77±0.02 mmol·l−1 (p〈0.01)) levels as compared to placebo (n=10). Both glomerular filtration rate (mean±SEM) (simvastatin: 96.6±8.0 vs 96.0±5.7 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2, placebo: 97.1±6.7 vs 88.8±6.0 ml·min−1·1.73 m−2) (NS) and urinary albumin excretion rate (geometric mean x/÷ antilog SEM) (simvastatin: 18.4x/÷1.3vs 16.2 x/÷1.2 μg·min−1, placebo 33.1 x/÷ 1.3 vs 42.7 x/÷ 1.3 μg·min−1)(NS) were unchanged during the study. A euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamp was performed at baseline and after 18 weeks in seven simvastatin-and nine placebo-treated patients. Isotopically determined basal and insulin-stimulated glucose disposal was similarly reduced before and during therapy in both the simvastatin (2.0±0.1 vs 1.9±0.1 (NS) and 3.1±0.6 vs 3.1±0.7 mg·kg−1·min−1 (NS)) and the placebo group (1.9±0.1 vs 1.8±0.1 (NS) and 4.1±0.6 vs 3.8±0.2 mg·kg−1·min−1 (NS)). No different was observed in glucose storage or glucose and lipid oxidation before and after treatment. Further, the suppression of hepatic glucose production during hyperinsulinaemia was not influenced by simvastatin (−0.7±0.8 vs −0.7±0.5 mg·kg−1·min−1 (NS)). In conclusion, despite marked improvement in the dyslipidaemia simvastatin had no impact on kidney function or urinary albumin excretion rate and did not reduce insulin resistance in these microalbuminuric and moderately hypercholesterolaemic Type 2 diabetic patients.

    Notes: Summary The appearance of microalbuminuria in diabetic patients predicts development of macroalbuminuria and coronary heart disease. Autonomic dysfunction in ischaemic heart disease is related to an increased incidence of arrhythmic deaths. To assess sympathovagal balance in relation to microalbuminuria we performed 24-h spectral analysis of RR interval oscillations in 37 insulin-dependent diabetic patients. Patients were divided according to urinary albumin excretion as normo-(〈20 µg/min) (n =12), micro-(〉20 and 〈200 µg/min) (n =14) and macro-albuminuria (〉200 µg/min) (n =11). None had symptoms or signs of ischaemic heart disease at clinical examination or during stress testing. Fourteen matched healthy subjects served as controls. Overall RR interval variability was calculated as the 24-h standard deviation. The square root of power of the low-frequency (0.04–0.15 Hz) and high-frequency (0.15–0.40 Hz) component were considered indices of the sympathovagal interaction and vagal function, respectively. Patients with micro and macroalbuminuria had, compared to control subjects, significantly reduced 24-h standard deviation, a much smaller day/night difference in mean RR level and a significantly reduced amplitude of the low frequency and high frequency oscillations, which were even more reduced in macroalbuminuria. The differences in vagal function were also present after correction for mean RR level, and differences in physical training level and smoking. Insulin-dependent diabetic patients who develop microalbuminuria have significantly impaired vagal function and abnormal sympathovagal interaction, which is further deranged in macroalbuminuria. This early autonomic dysfunction may later contribute to a increased risk for sudden cardiac death. [Diabetologia (1994) 37: 788–796]

    Notes: Summary Low birth weight has been proposed as a risk factor for development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease in the adult. To ascertain the extent to which birth weight was associated with cardiovascular risk factors, we examined 620 subjects (median age 48 years) in a cross-sectional study. Of these 317 were offspring of diabetic patients and 303 were offspring of non-diabetic control subjects. Known risk factors for development of cardiovascular disease were correlated to birth weight and examined as dependent variables by multiple linear regression. Age, body mass index (BMI), subjects gender along with parental gender, diabetes status of the parents, and birth weight were independent variables. The variance of the risk factors as dependent variables explained by age, gender, and BMI as independent variables was examined and birth weight was added as an independent variable. We found birth weight was inconsistently correlated to the different risk factors in the different groups of subjects. When adjusted for age, BMI, subject's gender, parental gender, and the diabetes status of the parents, birth weight was negatively correlated to fasting blood glucose. In offspring of diabetic patients the explained variance of risk factors did not change as we added birth weight to the model. In offspring of non-diabetic subjects we found that the explained variance of diastolic blood pressure, fasting blood glucose, HbAIC, and cholesterol increased 1–3 % as birth weight was added to the model. We conclude that birth weight may not be a major risk factor for development of hypertension and cardiovascular disease in our population. [Diabetologia (1996) 39: 1598–1602]
