PRELIMINARY STUDY ON PLASMA sTNFR2 LEVELS IN TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AT HANOI NEPHROLOGY HOSPITAL
Main Article Content
Abstract
Soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor 2 (sTNFR2), which reflects inflammation and renal injury in diabetic patients, may serve as a potential biomarker. This study aimed to evaluate plasma sTNFR2 levels and related factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). A cross-sectional study was conducted on 80 patients with T2DM at Hanoi Nephrology Hospital. Patients were categorized into four groups based on their stages of CKD. Plasma sTNFR2 levels were quantified by ELISA. Results: Plasma sTNFR2 levels progressively increased with advancing stages of CKD: 1.967 ng/mL (no CKD), 1.584 ng/mL (CKD stage 1&2), 8.725 ng/mL (CKD stage 3), and 15.198 ng/mL (CKD stage 4) (p<0.001). sTNFR2 correlated strongly and inversely with eGFR (rho = –0.716, p<0.001) and positively with serum creatinine (rho = 0.674, p<0.001), serum urea (rho = 0.596, p<0.001), and proteinuria (rho = 0.497, p<0.001). ROC curve analysis demonstrated good discriminative ability of sTNFR2 for identifying eGFR <60 ml/min/1.73m² with an AUC of 0.875 (p<0.0001). A diagnostic cutoff of 6.117 ng/mL yielded 78.6% sensitivity and 89.5% specificity. Conclusion: Plasma sTNFR2 levels were markedly elevated in T2DM patients with CKD, particularly at advanced stages, and were strongly correlated with renal function decline. These finddings suggest that sTNFR2 may represent a promising biomarker for assessing and monitoring the prognosis of diabetic kidney disease
