Abstract

The aim – to analyze the relationship between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and cardiovascular pathology in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) of different ages.
Materials and methods. A total of 233 patients with T2D aged 30-80 years were examined. Anthropometric indicators, blood pressure, glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, C-peptide, total cholesterol, triglycerides, low-density and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate, AST, and ALT were measured in all patients. Groups of patients were compared based on the presence of CKD and age using Student’s t-test and Pearson’s chi-squared test.
Results and discussion. In patients with T2D and CKD, the incidence of coronary heart disease (CHD) (OR 1.8; 95 % CI 1.02–3.23; p=0.044), myocardial infarction (OR 2.0; 95 % CI 1.01–3.95; p=0.046), and strokes (OR 2.66; 95 % CI 1.07–6.63; p=0.036) is significantly higher compared to patients with T2D without kidney pathology. When comparing the clinical indicators of patients with T2D combined with CKD and those without it, no significant differences were found in anthropometric measurements, blood pressure, blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, or C-peptide levels. The levels of total cholesterol, hemoglobin, and red blood cell count in the blood were significantly lower (р<0.05), while the levels of creatinine and glomerular filtration rate were significantly higher (р<0.001) in patients with kidney pathology.
Conclusion. In patients with T2D, a relationship between CKD and cardiovascular pathology has been established. It can be assumed that the development of kidney pathology in patients with T2D is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular diseases.
