Role of urinary trace elements in diabetic kidney disease: a cross-sectional analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The balance of trace elements plays an important role in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) patients. However, studies on the differences in urinary trace elements across different DKD stages are scarce. This study aimed to explore the associations between nine essential trace elements and DKD.

Research design and methods

This cross-sectional analysis included 830 diabetic patients. Participants were classified into non-DKD (NDKD) and DKD, the latter was further grouped into mid and end DKD based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and the case and control were matched based on age and sex. The concentration of urinary trace elements was measured with inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry.

Results

Urinary concentrations of copper (Cu) and ma
