Non-linear association of fasting C-peptide and uric acid levels with renal dysfunction based on restricted cubic spline in patients with type 2 diabetes: A real-world study

BackgroundPrevious studies had showed divergent findings on the associations of C-peptide and/or uric acid (UA) with renal dysfunction odds in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We hypothesized that there were non-linear relationships between C-peptide, UA and renal dysfunction odds. Thi...

description BackgroundPrevious studies had showed divergent findings on the associations of C-peptide and/or uric acid (UA) with renal dysfunction odds in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We hypothesized that there were non-linear relationships between C-peptide, UA and renal dysfunction odds. This study aimed to further investigate the relationships of different stratification of C-peptide and UA with renal dysfunction in patients with T2DM.MethodWe conducted a cross-sectional real-world observational study of 411 patients with T2DM. The levels of fasting C-peptide, 2h postprandial C-peptide, the ratio of fasting C-peptide to 2h postprandial C-peptide (C0/C2 ratio), UA and other characteristics were recorded. Restricted cubic spline (RCS) curves was performed to evaluated the associations of stratified C-peptide and UA with renal dysfunction odds.ResultsFasting C-peptide, C0/C2 ratio and UA were independently and significantly associated with renal dysfunction in patients with T2DM as assessed by multivariate analyses (p < 0.05). In especial, non-linear relationships with threshold effects were observed among fasting C-peptide, UA and renal dysfunction according to RCS analyses. Compared with patients with 0.28 ≤ fasting C-peptide ≤ 0.56 nmol/L, patients with fasting C-peptide < 0.28 nmol/L (OR = 1.38, p = 0.246) or fasting C-peptide > 0.56 nmol/L (OR = 1.85, p = 0.021) had relatively higher renal dysfunction odds after adjusting for confounding factors. Similarly, compared with patients with 276 ≤ UA ≤ 409 μmol/L, patients with UA < 276 μmol/L (OR = 1.32, p = 0.262) or UA > 409 μmol/L (OR = 6.24, p < 0.001) had relatively higher odds of renal dysfunction.ConclusionThe renal dysfunction odds in patients with T2DM was non-linearly associated with the levels of serum fasting C-peptide and UA. Fasting C-peptide and UA might have the potential role in odds stratification of renal dysfunction.
