Assessment of the Relationship between Carotid Intima-Media Thickening and Early-Stage Diabetic Kidney Disease Coupled with Helicobacter pylori Infection

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the associations between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and early-stage diabetic kidney disease (DKD) coupled with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study including 180 type 2 diabetic parti...

Sumario:OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the associations between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and early-stage diabetic kidney disease (DKD) coupled with Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection in type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS: A cross-sectional study including 180 type 2 diabetic participants was conducted to explore the associations between CIMT and early-stage DKD coupled with H. pylori infection, and a stepwise multivariate regression analysis evaluated the correlations of CIMT with clinical and serologic parameters. RESULTS: The type 2 diabetic patients with early-stage DKD coupled with H. pylori infections had the highest CIMT values. Apolipoprotein B (ApoB), urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were independent predictors of CIMT. CONCLUSIONS: Early-stage DKD coupled with H. pylori infection may synergistically lead to significant CIMT thickening in type 2 diabetic patients. Additionally, ApoB, UACR, and IL-6 levels were important independent risk factors for increased CIMT.
