To evaluate the gene expression of beta-trace protein in urine of diabetic patients, with no reduction in glomerular filtration rate, which was defined as below 60mL/min/1.73m2.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients were recruited, and a group of non-diabetic individuals served as control. Beta-trace protein gene expression was analyzed by quantitative PCR. Blood samples were collected to establish glucose levels and baseline kidney function. Accuracy was analyzed using ROC curves.
Ninety type 2 diabetes mellitus patients and 20 non-diabetic individuals were recruited. The area under the curve was 0.601, sensitivity of 20% and specificity of 89.47%. Among diabetic participants, 18% showed an expression above the cutoff point.
These results of accuracy of beta-trace protein gene expression in urine of diabetic patients are promising, although they did not achieve a higher area under the curve level.
评估肾小球滤过率未降低（定义为低于60mL/min/1.73m²）的糖尿病患者尿液中β-微球蛋白的基因表达。
招募2型糖尿病患者，并选取一组非糖尿病个体作为对照。通过定量PCR分析β-微球蛋白基因表达。采集血样以确定血糖水平和基线肾功能。使用ROC曲线分析准确性。
招募了90名2型糖尿病患者和20名非糖尿病个体。曲线下面积为0.601，敏感性为20%，特异性为89.47%。在糖尿病参与者中，18%的人表达高于临界值。
糖尿病患者尿液中β-微球蛋白基因表达准确性的这些结果很有前景，尽管它们未达到更高的曲线下面积水平。
