Abstract

Albuminuria in Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes is not only an indication of renal disease, but a new, independent risk-marker of proliferative retinopathy and macroangiopathy. The coincidence of generalised vascular dysfunction and albuminuria, advanced mesangial expansion, proliferative retinopathy, and severe macroangiopathy suggests a common cause of albuminuria and the severe renal and extrarenal complications associated with it. Enzymes involved in the metabolism of anionic components of the extracellular matrix (e.g. heparan sulphate proteoglycan) vulnerable to hyperglycaemia, seem to constitute the primary cause of albuminuria and the associated complications. Genetic polymorphism of such enzymes is possibly the main reason for variation in susceptibility.

  • Endothelial dysfunction may be an underlying cause of many associated vascular problems.

    “Endothelial dysfunction may be an underlying cause of many associated vascular problems ( 45 , 54 ).”

    From Exercise and Type 2 Diabetes (2010) · cites this paper as [54]

    In “Albuminuria, more than an indicator of renal disease” (page not provided), the paper links markers of endothelial dysfunction with albuminuria and proposes that a widespread vascular process promotes retinopathy and macroangiopathy. In “Loss of heparan sulphate proteoglycan in diabetes” (page not provided), it proposes loss of heparan sulphate as a mechanism affecting endothelial cells and other tissues. It does not specifically identify endothelial dysfunction itself as the underlying cause of the associated vascular problems. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
