The association between monocyte HDL ratio and albuminuria in diabetic nephropathy

Objectives:
We aimed to investigate whether Monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR) had an association with albuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy (DN).
Methods:
Diabetic patients, who had admitted to the outpatient clinic of general internal disease department between September 2017 - February 2018 and had their spot urinary albumin/creatinine ratio measured, were examined retrospectively. Patients were separated based on the presence of DN. Patients with DN were grouped as Stage-I, Stage-II and Stage-III chronic kidney disease (CKD). Groups were compared in terms of MHR. The presence of a correlation between MHR and albuminuria was investigated.
Results:
MHR was found to be higher in the DN (n=85) group compared to Non- DN group. (16.2±5.5 vs. 14.3±4, p=0.037) And there was no significant difference in Stage-I, Stage-II and Stage-III CKD groups in terms of MHR. (15.2± 3.4, 16.1±6.0, 17.1±6.0, p=0.485). No significant correlation was found between MHR and albuminuria in DN and non-DN groups (p=0.634, r=0.052; p=0.553, r=-0.059).
Conclusions:
DN group had higher MHR than non-nephropathy group, whereas, there was no correlation between albuminuria and MHR.
