Follow-up study on urinary type IV collagen in patients with early stage diabetic nephropathy.

Abstract：

:Type IV collagen is a major component released from the glomerular and tubular basement membranes. To investigate the alteration of renal type IV collagen turnover in early stage diabetic nephropathy, urinary type IV collagen was measured by a highly sensitive one-step sandwich enzyme immunoassay (EIA). Urinary samples were obtained from 94 diabetic patients without overt proteinuria. Among those patients, 61 were normoalbuminuric and 33 patients were in the microalbuminuric group. Levels of urinary type IV collagen were serially examined at the start of this study and again one year later. The levels of urinary type IV collagen in patients in the microalbuminuric group were significantly higher than those in the normoalbuminuric group (P < 0.01). There was a significant correlation between the concentration of urinary albumin and urinary type IV collagen in both groups (P < 0.05). Twenty-eight patients (45.3%) in the normoalbuminuric group who showed an abnormal elevation of urinary type IV collagen in comparison to the reference range of normal healthy adults (normal range; less than 3.5 microg/g x Cr). Seven (25%) out of these 28 normoalbuminuric patients with increased urinary type IV collagen progressed to the microalbuminuric group one year later. The levels of urinary type IV collagen in such patients were significantly increased. In the 21 patients who stayed within the normoalbuminuric group, the urinary type IV collagen levels were significantly decreased one year later. It appears that the levels of urinary type IV collagen might reflect ongoing alteration of the extracellular matrix (ECM) turnover and might define more specifically the early stage diabetic nephropathy than the detection of microalbuminuria. It is concluded that the serial measurement of urinary type IV collagen can be a useful marker for detecting renal injury in diabetes.
