The relationship between red blood cell sorbitol content and diabetic complications (cataract, retinopathy, neuropathy, and nephropathy) was examined in 23 non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDD) patients. Sorbitol content was abnormally high in 21 cases out of 23 NIDD patients. Sorbitol content in the non-neuropathy group and neuropathy group was 47.3 +/- 11.9 and 59.6 +/- 23.6 nmol/gHb, respectively. In the non-cataract group and cataract group, it was 49.0 +/- 17.6 and 66.0 +/- 23.5 nmol/gHb, respectively. The contents in the Scott I group and Scott II + III group were 54.9 +/- 20.7 and 58.7 +/- 24.0 nmol/gHb, respectively. Sorbitol content in the non-nephropathy group and nephropathy group was 52.8 +/- 19.8 and 61.1 +/- 21.9 nmol/gHb, respectively. The possibility that glyceraldehyde reductase (GAR) and sorbitol dehydrogenase (SDH) levels in red blood cells are also useful indicators of the presence of diabetic complications is strongly suggested.
对23例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病(NIDD)患者的红细胞山梨醇含量与糖尿病并发症(白内障、视网膜病变、神经病变和肾病)之间的关系进行了研究。23例NIDD患者中有21例的山梨醇含量异常高。非神经病变组和神经病变组的山梨醇含量分别为47.3±11.9和59.6±23.6 nmol/gHb。非白内障组和白内障组的山梨醇含量分别为49.0±17.6和66.0±23.5 nmol/gHb。Scott I组和Scott II + III组的山梨醇含量分别为54.9±20.7和58.7±24.0 nmol/gHb。非肾病组和肾病组的山梨醇含量分别为52.8±19.8和61.1±21.9 nmol/gHb。强烈提示红细胞中的甘油醛还原酶(GAR)和山梨醇脱氢酶(SDH)水平也可能是糖尿病并发症存在的有用指标。
