    Asociación de los niveles de adiponectina y del factor de necrosis tumoral alfa con albuminuria en pacientes con diabetes tipo 2

    Type 2 Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic chronic disease, which if it is not properly controlled produces a progressive kidney damage causing diabetc nephropathy. It is also highly associated with a chronic infammatory state, related to adipocytokines (IL-6, TNF-α, leptn, adiponectn) secreton which are involved in metabolic homeostasis and crucial in both regulatng the atherogenic process as in insulin resistance. Objectve: To relate the behavior of adiponectn and TNF-α levels with albumi- nuria in patents with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Materials and methods: The research was based on a descriptve cross-sectonal model with a study populaton composed by patents admited to University Hospital Erasmo Meoz (Cucuta, Colombia). According to previously established selecton criteria, two analysis groups were conformed; patents diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus and albuminuria >30 mg/L (n = 24), and a control group without the above conditons (n = 20). Results: The results revealed that there is a positve and statstcally signifcant correlaton between TNF-α concentraton and albuminuria (p <0.03). It was observed that between TNF-α and adiponectn levels there are no apparently correlaton (p> 0.05). Conclusions: although there are no signifcant diferences between adiponectn and TNF-α levels, TNF-α could be exploited as an early markers for kidney damage or help designing of progression estmators of injury in patents with diabetes type 2.
