Abstract:

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum interleukin 19(IL-19)level and diabetic nephropathy. Methods A total of 200 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM)were enrolled,and they were classified into non-albuminuria nephropathy group(102 cases),micro-albuminuria nephropathy group(72 cases)and macro-albuminuria nephropathy group(26 cases)according to urinary albumin excretion(UAE). A total of 50 healthy subjects were enrolled. Serum IL-19 level,high-sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP),cystatin C(Cys C),glycated hemoglobin A1c(HbA1c)and UAE were determined. Results Compared with healthy control group,serum IL-19 levels in micro-albuminuria nephropathy and macro-albuminuria nephropathy groups were higher(P<0.05). Serum IL-19 level was positively correlated with hs-CRP, Cys C, UAE and HbA1cr=0.623, 0.611, 0.591 and 0.526,P<0.01). Conclusions Serum IL-19 level is increased in patients with diabetic nephropathy. It might be involved in the development of diabetic nephropathy.
