Özet
Objectives: The aim of the present study is to evaluate the diagnostic powers of fractional magnesium, sodium and potassium as markers of renal tubular damage in normotensive type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with respect to microalbuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR). Materials and methods: Forty healthy volunteers and 91 normotensive T2DM patients were included in the study. Patient group was divided into two according to albuminuria level; 49 were normoalbuminuric and 42 were microalbuminuric. In addition to albumin in urine, urine and serum Na, K, Mg and creatinine values were measured to calculate fractional electrolyte excretion rates. Results: In normoalbuminuric and microalbuminuric groups, fractional excretion of magnesium (FEMg) values were found to be significantly higher than the control group (p < 0.05). There was a moderate correlation between FEMg and albümin to cratinin ratio (ACR) (Spearman r = 0.3215, p < 0.05). In the ROC analysis for eGFR and FEMg based on microalbuminuria, the areas under the curve were 0.625 and 0.732, respectively (diagnostic sensitivity 59.52% and 66.67%; specificity 70.79% and 77.53%, p < 0.05). Conclusion: For renal tubular damage predicted by microalbuminuria, FEMg could be accepted as a candidate biochemical marker with diagnostic and prognostic value.
