摘要: Aim The intrarenal renin-angiotensin system (RAS) has been reported to be activated in chronic proteinuria patients. This study aimed compare RAS activity between diabetic nephropathy (DN) and non-diabetic (NDN) patients with overt proteinuria. Methods A multicenter, cross-sectional was conducted 116 (urinary protein/creatinine ratio [uPCR] > 1 mg/mg Cr). To estimate we measured urinary excretion of angiotensinogen (uAGT) renin (uRenin) DN (n = 38) NDN (n = 78). Results Both natural logarithms uAGT/urinary creatinine (ln[uAGT/uCr]) uRenin (ln[uRenin/uCr]) levels were significantly higher compared those (ln[uAGT/uCr]: 4.16 ± 1.13 vs. 3.52 ± 1.21 NDN, P = 0.007; ln[uRenin/uCr]: 5.66 ± 1.60 4.29 ± 1.48 P < 0.001), when estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) uPCR showed no significant difference the two groups. In a subgroup analysis, according amount proteinuria, both uAGT subnephrotic-range (uPCR < 3.5 mg/mg However, nephrotic-range (uPCR ≥ 3.5 mg/mg Cr), only NDN. multiple regression diabetes independent association uRenin. Conclusion Consistently elevated DN, regardless indicates that may proteinuria.
