Circulating human anti nucleolus antibody (ANCAb) and biochemical parameters in type 2 diabetic patients with and without complications.

ABSTRACT: INTRODUCTION:There is no evidence on the role of Human Anti Nucleolus Antibody (ANCAb) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We compared prevalence and concentration of ANCAb between age and a gender-matched sample of T2DM with and without diabetes-related complications. METHODS:In this study, the reaction to ANCAb was compared quantitatively between 38 T2DM patients complicated with microvascular conditions and 43 T2DM without complications as controls. RESULTS:The patients in complicated and non-complicated groups were comparable in diabetes duration (9.0 vs. 5.0 years; P = 0.065), respectively. The study found that 27 cases (71.1%) of the complicated group reacted to ANCAb test compared to 25 (58.1%) in non-complicated patients (P = 0.226; 3.53 vs. 2.72 ng/mL; P = 0.413). The reaction res
