Abstract:Objective To study the clinical value of inflammatory and immunological indexes in diagnosis and prognosis of diabetic patients with renal diseases. Methods From March 2010 to June 2014, 108 cases of diabetic patients treated in our hospital were divided into diabetic group (group A) and diabetic combined nephropathy group (group B). According to the renal fuction, patients in group B were divided into good prognosis group (group C) and poor prognosis group (group D). The inflammatory and immune indexes of all patients were measured. Results The levels of TG, TC, HbAlc and LDL-C in group A were significantly higher than those in group B (P < 0.05). The levels of TG, TC, HbAlc and LDL-C in group C were significantly higher than those in group D (P < 0.05). The level of NK cells in the patients of group A was significantly higher than that in group B (t = 2.620, P = 0.010). The levels of IgM and IgA in patients of group B were significantly higher than those in group A (P < 0.05). The levels of CD4+ and NK cells in patients of group C were significantly higher than those in group D (P < 0.05). The levels of IgA and CD8+ in group C were significantly lower than those in group D (P < 0.05). The levels of IL-1, TNF and hs-CRP in group B were significantly higher than that in group A (P < 0.05), and the level of IL-6 in group B was significantly lower than that in group A (t = 5.425, P = 0.000). The levels of IL-1, TNF- and hs-CRP in group D were significantly higher than that in group C (P < 0.05), and there was no significant difference of IL-6 between group A and B (t = 0.783, P = 0.483). Conclusions The immunological indexes including NK cells, IgM, hs-CRP, and inflammatory indexes including IgA, -IL-6, IL-1 and TNF- levels have clinical value on early diagnosis and evaluation of prognosis of diabetic nephropathy.
