Study information

Primary study designObservational
Study designObservational longitudinal case-control single-centre study
Secondary study designCase-control study
Scientific titleRenal structure and function in type 2 diabetes: an observational, longitudinal case-control and single-centred study
Study objectivesLittle is known about the relationships between renal structural changes and the glomerular filtration rate (GFR). To elucidate renal structural-functional relationships in the early stage of diabetic nephropathy in type 2 diabetes, we performed a detailed analysis of renal morphology and its relationship with GFR. Finally, we studied whether glomerular hyperfiltration can predict further functional changes.
Ethics approval(s)Research Ethics Committee of Kitasato University School of Medicine approved on the 22nd April 2004 (ref: B04-02)
Health condition(s) or problem(s) studiedDiabetic nephropathy, renal structural changes
InterventionThirty type 2 diabetic patients showing either normoalbuminuria or microalbuminuria participated. Microscopic morphometric analyses provided quantitative glomerular structural changes. Patients were followed every 6 months for an average of 6.2 ± 3.5 years and glomerular filtration rate was determined.
Intervention typeOther
Primary outcome measure(s)

The GFR measured by the plasma clearance of unlabeled iohexol. The plasma concentration of iohexol was measured by HPLC. Measured every 6 months after renal biopsy.

Key secondary outcome measure(s)

The urinary albumin measured by turbidimetric immunoassay. Measured every 6 months after renal biopsy.
