[The relationship of Apo E2 and renal insufficiency lipid levels in NIDDM]
1Department of Endocrinology, Guangzhou Army Wuhan General Hospital of PLA, Guangzhou 430070.
Objective:
To study the relationship of ApoE2 and renal insufficiency, lipid levels in NIDDM patients.
Methods:
PCR/ASO probe technique was used to determine ApoE genotypes. 46 NIDDM patients with renal insufficiency and 84 NIDDM patients without renal insufficiency as well as 50 healthy individuals were selected. Of the patients with renal insufficiency, 10 belonged to ApoE2 and 38 to ApoE3/3. In addition, 57 NIDDM patients with normalbuminuria (6 with ApoE2, 51 with ApoE3/3) were selected from the 84 NIDDM patients without renal insufficiency.
Results:
Allele frequency was significantly higher in diabetic patients with renal insufficiency than in diabetic patients without renal insufficiency and in healthy individuals (P < 0.05). Tc, TG levels were significantly higher in ApoE2 group with renal insufficiency than in E3/3 group with renal insufficiency, ApoE3/3 and ApoE2 groups with normoal buminuria. HDL-c level was significantly lower in ApoE2 group with renal insufficiency than in other 3 groups.
Conclusion:
ApoE2 is associated with renal insufficiency in NIDDM patients and that ApoE2 may be a factor that aggravates lipid abnormalities in NIDDM patients with renal insufficiency.

Factors Affecting Renal Clearance: Renal Impairment
One condition associated with renal failure is uremia. Uremia is characterized by impaired glomerular filtration and fluid accumulation in the body. This condition hinders the renal clearance of drugs, resulting in drug accumulation and potential...
Renal Failure: Dose Adjustments
Reduced renal clearance and elimination rate are common outcomes of renal impairment. These alterations lead to a prolonged elimination half-life and an altered apparent volume of distribution for drugs. As a result, dosage adjustments are typically necessary to maintain optimal drug levels in the body.
However, dosage adjustments...
