Systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), a novel inflammatory marker, has been reported to be associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the U.S., however, such a close relationship with DKD in other countries, including China, has not been never determined. We aimed to explore the association between SII and DKD in Chinese population.
A total of 1922 hospitalized patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) included in this cross-sectional study were divided into three groups based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR): non-DKD group, DKD stages 1-2 Alb group, and DKD-non-Alb+DKD stage 3 Alb group. The possible association of SII with DKD was investigated by correlation and multivariate logistic regression analysis, and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curves analysis.
Moving from the non-DKD group to the DKD-non-Alb+DKD stage 3 Alb group, SII level was gradually increased ( for trend <0.01). Partial correlation analysis revealed that SII was positively associated with urinary ACR and prevalence of DKD, and negatively with eGFR (all <0.01). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that SII remained independently significantly associated with the presence of DKD after adjustment for all confounding factors [(odds ratio (OR), 2.735; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.840-4.063; < 0.01)]. Moreover, compared with subjects in the lowest quartile of SII (Q1), the fully adjusted OR for presence of DKD was 1.060 (95% CI 0.773-1.455) in Q2, 1.167 (95% CI 0.995-1.368) in Q3, 1.266 (95% CI 1.129-1.420) in the highest quartile (Q4) ( for trend <0.01). Similar results were observed in presence of DKD stages 1-2 Alb or presence of DKD-non- Alb+DKD stage 3 Alb among SII quartiles. Last, the analysis of ROC curves revealed that the best cutoff values for SII to predict DKD, Alb DKD stages 1- 2, and DKD-non-Alb+ DKD stage 3 Alb were 609.85 (sensitivity: 48.3%; specificity: 72.8%), 601.71 (sensitivity: 43.9%; specificity: 72.3%), and 589.27 (sensitivity: 61.1%; specificity: 71.1%), respectively.
Higher SII is independently associated with an increased risk of the presence and severity of DKD, and SII might be a promising biomarker for DKD and its distinct phenotypes in Chinese population.
全身性免疫炎症指数(SII)是一种新的炎症标志物,在美国被报道与糖尿病肾病(DKD)有关,然而,在包括中国在内的其他国家,这种与 DKD 的密切关系尚未得到确定。我们旨在探讨 SII 与中国人群 DKD 之间的关系。
本横断面研究共纳入 1922 例 2 型糖尿病住院患者,根据估计肾小球滤过率(eGFR)和尿白蛋白与肌酐比值(ACR)将其分为三组:非 DKD 组、DKD 1-2 期 Alb 组和 DKD-非 Alb+DKD 3 期 Alb 组。通过相关性和多变量 logistic 回归分析以及受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线分析来探讨 SII 与 DKD 之间的可能关联。
从非 DKD 组到 DKD-非 Alb+DKD 3 期 Alb 组,SII 水平逐渐升高(趋势<0.01)。偏相关分析显示,SII 与尿 ACR 和 DKD 的患病率呈正相关,与 eGFR 呈负相关(均<0.01)。多变量 logistic 回归分析表明,在调整所有混杂因素后,SII 仍然与 DKD 的存在显著相关[比值比(OR),2.735;95%置信区间(CI),1.840-4.063;<0.01)]。此外,与 SII 最低四分位数(Q1)的受试者相比,SII 第 2、3 和第 4 四分位数(Q2、Q3 和 Q4)的 DKD 存在的完全调整 OR 分别为 1.060(95%CI,0.773-1.455)、1.167(95%CI,0.995-1.368)和 1.266(95%CI,1.129-1.420)(趋势<0.01)。在 SII 四分位数中,DKD 1-2 期或 DKD-非 Alb+DKD 3 期 Alb 期的 DKD 存在时也观察到类似的结果。最后,ROC 曲线分析显示,SII 预测 DKD、Alb DKD 1-2 期和 DKD-非 Alb+DKD 3 期 Alb 的最佳截断值分别为 609.85(灵敏度:48.3%;特异性:72.8%)、601.71(灵敏度:43.9%;特异性:72.3%)和 589.27(灵敏度:61.1%;特异性:71.1%)。
较高的 SII 与 DKD 的发生和严重程度增加独立相关,SII 可能是中国人群 DKD 及其不同表型的有前途的生物标志物。
