The prevalence of microalbuminuria was assessed in 50 patients of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. The mean age of patients was 52.1 ± 11.6 years and the duration of diabetes was 8.3 ± 6.8 years. Twenty (40%) patients had microalbuminuria. Microalbuminuria was more common in patients with a longer duration of diabetes (more than 5 years), a poor glycaemic control, and higher systolic blood pressure.KEY WORDS: Microalbuminuria, Diabetes mellitus, Diabetic nephropathy, Chronic renal failure 相似文献

Twenty patients of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) (15 males and 5 females) who developed secondary failure to oral hypoglycaemic drugs, were evaluated for thyroid hormone abnormalities before and after control of diabetic state with insulin. Blood glucose (mean ± SEM mg/dL) fasting and post prandial levels were 260±16 and 370±20 respectively before therapy. After 15 days of intensive insulin therapy these levels fell to 110±14 and 130±12 respectively (p < 0.005). Glycosylated haemoglobin percent (GHb%) (mean ± SEM) was 10±0.4 before therapy and after therapy it fell to 9.2±0.3 (p < 0.05). Serum tri-iodothyronine levels (mean ± SEM ng/mL) were 0.55±0.03 which was significantly lower (p < 0.05) as compared controls. After therapy it significantly (p < 0.05) rose to 1.22±0.08). Serum thyroxine (T4) (mean ± SEM mcg/dL) was 8.5±0.6 before therapy and it did not change significantly after therapy. Serum reverse tri-iodothyronine (rT3) values of (mean ± SEM ng/dl) 0.24±0.05 were higher before therapy and decreased to 0.20±0.82 after therapy. However thyrotropin (TSH) values before and after therapy remained same. There was no significant change in TSH response to thyrotropin releasing hormone (TRH) before and after control of diabetic state.It was concluded that peripheral changes in T3, T4 and rT3 (low T3, high rT3 and low or normal T4) occurred in uncontrolled diabetic state. However, pituitary thyrotroph function in NIDDM with ideal body weight was not significantly affected.KEY WORDS: Thyroid hormones, Non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus 相似文献

Summary: Effect of recombinant human erythropoietin (rHuEPO) was determined on lipid levels (i.e. total cholesterol, triglycerides, high density lipoproteins [HDL], low density lipoproteins [LDL]) of 17 anaemic patients on maintenance haemodialysis. Estimations were done before initiating rHuEPO therapy and repeated 6 months later. There was an increase in haemoglobin (7.6 ± 1.09 to 10.9 ± 1.62 gm/dL, P < 0.001), and a significant decrease in total cholesterol (217 ± 22 to 196 ± 18 mg/dL, P < 0.001) and triglyceride levels (200 ± 20 to 186 ± 15 mg/dL, P < 0.001). There was no significant effect on HDL and LDL levels. 相似文献

We assessed the efficacy of intravenous (i.v.) iron saccharate (VENOFER) vs oral iron supplementation in haemodialysis patients treated with low-dose erythropoietin (EPO). Twenty haemodialysis patients with serum ferritin >200 ng/mL and transferrin saturation >30% were assigned to one of the two groups. In Group 1, 10 were given i.v. iron saccharate (100 mg i.v. twice weekly) post dialysis. In Group 2, oral ferrous sulphate 200 mg was given thrice daily. In both groups, subcutaneous EPO 25 units/kg body weight (BW) was started simultaneously, twice weekly. After 3 months (study completion) the mean haemoglobin and haematocrit was significantly increased in Group 1 than in Group 2 (Hb 11.60±0.64 G/dL vs 10.5 G/dL±1.14 P <0.01). The final mean EPO dose was 25% lower in Group 1 than in Group 2 (3400±1356 U/week vs 4600±1356 U/week P =0.10) and the mean serum ferritin was higher in the i.v. iron group than the oral group (671 ng/mL±388 vs 367 ng/mL±238 P =NS). The same was also observed with transferrin saturation (44.6%±19.8 in Group 1 vs. 29%±11.0 in Group 2 P =NS). No adverse effects were seen during the study. In conclusion, we observed that regular use of i.v. iron had a significantly enhanced haemoglobin response, better maintained serum ferritin and lower EPO dosage requirement than the oral iron group. 相似文献

INTRODUCTION
Patients with lymphadenopathy are commonly referred to general surgeons for diagnostic lymph node biopsy. We were concerned at potential long waits for this service in our hospital and thus wanted to compare the efficiency of written and telephone referral with a view to identifying the optimum care pathway for these patients.PATIENTS AND METHODS
Sixty patients were included in a 2-year retrospective review (excluding referrals associated with breast lumps which were managed separately). Hospital Episode Statistics data were used to analyse notes for the source and method of referral, waiting time to biopsy, clinic attendance and diagnosis.RESULTS
Of referrals, 33% were from haematology and 28% from general practice. Overall, 47% of patients were referred by letter; of these, 64% were seen in clinic before biopsy. Personal referral between clinicians, by direct discussion, e-mail or fax led to a mean wait of 4 days, compared to 51 days when patients were referred by letter. Clinic attendance had no significant bearing on diagnostic accuracy or complication rate. Neoplasia accounted for 43% of diagnoses and infection (including four cases of tuberculosis) for 10%. Of biopsies, 33% showed benign changes, 8% were unrecorded and 5% were incorrect.CONCLUSIONS
In this study, 43% of biopsies revealed malignancy and we advise that lymph node biopsy requests should be managed on a fast-track pathway, expedited by direct personal request. Following this study, we have implemented a fast-track pathway for such patients. 相似文献8.
