Relationship of Para and Perirenal Fat and High-Density Lipoprotein and Its Function in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Para and perirenal fat is a fat pad surrounding the kidneys. Recent studies showed the association between para and perirenal fat and cardiovascular diseases including atherosclerosis and hypertension. We aimed to assess the relationship between para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness and serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level and cholesterol efflux capacity of HDL in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).

Methods

We recruited 58 subjects with T2DM and collected anthropometric indices including height, weight, waist circumference, and other clinical data. Para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness (PUFT) was measured via ultrasound. Serum lipid profile and other metabolic indices were determined as well. Correlation analysis and regression ana
