Association of Thyroid Autoantibodies with Diabetic Nephropathy in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is one of the most common and severe complications in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Thyroid dysfunction has been associated with diabetes and its complications but the relationship between thyroid autoantibodies and T2DM-DN remains unclear.

Objective: The study aims to investigate the association between thyroid autoantibodies and diabetic nephropathy in patients with T2DM and analyze the expression of serum thyroid hormone levels in T2DM-DN patients and its prognostic value.

Methods: 117 patients with T2DM who visited our hospital from December 2020 to December 2022 were recruited and assigned to group A (65 patients with T2DM-DN) and group B (52 patients with T2DM without DN). Serum TH levels of patients with DN and normal diabetic patients were analyzed, and the prognosis of patients was evaluated.

Results: The results demonstrated that compared to group B, group A had higher serum cystatin C (cysC), serum creatinine (SCr), thyroglobulin antibody (TgAb), and urinary microalbumin/creatinine (UACR) levels, while the levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3), albumin (ALB), and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were lower (P < .05). FT3 in group A2 was inferior to that in group A0 and group A1 (P < .05). After correction, the results demonstrated that the level of thyroid peroxidase antibody (TPOAb) in group A1 was superior to that in group A0 (P < .05). The positive rates of TPOAb (20%) and TgAb (23.08%) in patients with T2DM-DN were drastically superior to those in patients with T2DM without DN. Among the independent risk factors for DN, the OR of positive TPOAb was 8.125.

Conclusion: The level and positive rate of thyroid autoantibodies in patients with T2DM-DN were high and TPOAb positivity might be a risk factor for the occurrence of T2DM-DN.
