Decline in measured glomerular filtration rate is associated with simple renal cyst in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/introduction

Simple renal cysts (SRC) are associated with age, hypertension and hyperuricemia, which are risk factors of renal impairment. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of SRC and its association with measured glomerular filtration rate (mGFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus in China.

Methods

A total of 3,552 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus admitted to Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital from January 2012 to December 2016 were investigated. All participants were diagnosed as SRC by color Doppler, and all participants were measured for GFR by using dynamic renal scintigraphy with technetium-99m-diethylene triamine peta-acetic acid.

Results

The prevalence of SRC was 17.4% (619 cases). Participants with SRC had significantly lower mGFR
