Association between serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D and diabetic kidney disease in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The objective was to assess the association between 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) level and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes.

Methods

Data pertaining to 351 in-patients with type 2 diabetes were collected. Subjects were classified into three groups based on the level of urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). UACR < 30 mg/g was defined as normoalbuminuria, while UACR levels of 30-300 mg/g and ≥ 300 mg/g were defined as microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria, respectively. Serum 25OHD and other clinical characteristics among various UACR groups were compared. The relationship between albuminuiria and 25OHD was analyzed.

Results

The prevalence of 25OHD insufficiency in the microalbuminuria group was significantly higher t
