Clinical analysis of 68 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis

Objective:To assess the predictor factors for atherosclerotic renal artery stenosis(ARAS) in type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:A total of 68 subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus combined with ARAS confirmed by intra-arterial angiography or magnetic resonance angipgraphy,and 44 subjects with no ARAS were included in the study.The patients' age,sex,duration of diabetes and hypertention,blood lipid,glycosylated hemoglobin,creatinine,uric acid,and other atherosclerotic diseases were analyzed statistically.Results:There were significant differences in age,creatinine,uric acid and other atherosclerotic diseases between the two groups.ARAS was positively associated with age,creatinine,uric acid and other atherosclerotic diseases(P<0.05-P<0.01),and negatively associated with high density lipoprotein-C(P<0.05).Conclusions:Age,high density lipoprotein-C,blood creatinine,uric acid and other atherosclerotic diseases are predictor factors for ARAS.
