Abstract

Introduction: the cardiovascular disease and the kidney disease constitute the main cause of mortality in type 2 diabetics patients so it matters to know the relative value of the creatinine level and the presence of albuminuria in the prediction of cardiovascular events (CVE) in them.

Objetives: to know the strength of association between creatinine levels and the presence of albuminuria with CVE in type 2 diabetics patients.

Materials and methods: in 270 type 2 diabetic patients (138 men and 132 women), age X 66±10,2 years, we determine the average of the last three determinations of creatinine (modified Jaffe method) and the quotient albuminuria/creatininuria by nephelmometry in the first urine sample. Major CVEs were documented. A history of myocardial infarction, angina pectoris, angioplasty and/or myocardial and/or lower limb revascularization surgery, and cerebrovascular accident were determined as cardiovascular atherosclerotic disease. And non-atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease the history of heart failure and arrhythmias.

Results: 31,5% of the patients had some CVE. In the univariate analysis was registered a significant association between the creatinine values and CVE in the ROC curve, with a cut off value of 1,42 mg/dl (AUC:0,595; p<0,001). A cut off value of albuminuria/creatininuria more than 88 mg/g was associated with more numbers of CVE although the ROC curve was not significant.

Conclusions: in the multivariate analysis by logistic regression, adjusting other variables, the creatinine level,age and cholesterol HDL levels were significantly associated with CVE (178% increased risk for creatinine levels equal or over 1,42 mg/dl) while the albuminuric levels were non significantly associated with CVE.
