Journal Article
Urinary non-albumin protein-creatinine ratio is an independent predictor of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes: a retrospective cohort study
2024
Overview
Albuminuria is a well-known predictor of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). However, proteinuria is associated with chronic complications in patients without albuminuria. In this retrospective cohort study, we explored whether non-albumin proteinuria is associated with all-cause mortality and compared the effects of non-albumin proteinuria on all-cause mortality between patients with and without albuminuria. We retrospectively collected data from patients with type 2 DM for whom we had obtained measurements of both urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and urinary protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) from the same spot urine specimen. Urinary non-albumin protein-creatinine ratio (UNAPCR) was defined as UPCR–UACR. Of the 1809 enrolled subjects, 695 (38.4%) patients died over a median follow-up of 6.4 years. The cohort was separated into four subgroups according to UACR (30 mg/g) and UNAPCR (120 mg/g) to examine whether these indices are associated with all-cause mortality. Compared with the low UACR and low UNAPCR subgroup as the reference group, multivariable Cox regression analyses indicated no significant difference in mortality in the high UACR and low UNAPCR subgroup (hazard ratio [HR] 1.189, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.889–1.589, P = 0.243), but mortality risks were significantly higher in the low UACR and high UNAPCR subgroup (HR 2.204, 95% CI 1.448–3.356, P < 0.001) and in the high UACR with high UNAPCR subgroup (HR 1.796, 95% CI 1.451–2.221, P < 0.001). In the multivariable Cox regression model with inclusion of both UACR and UNAPCR, UNAPCR ≥ 120 mg/g was significantly associated with an increased mortality risk (HR 1.655, 95% CI 1.324–2.070, P < 0.001), but UACR ≥ 30 mg/g was not significantly associated with mortality risk (HR 1.046, 95% CI 0.820–1.334, P = 0.717). In conclusion, UNAPCR is an independent predictor of all-cause mortality in patients with type 2 DM.
