Objective To investigate the gender differences and related factors of renal glucose threshold (RTG) in patients with type 2 diabetes.Methods A total of 114 patients with type 2 diabetes hospitalized in the Department of Endocrinology, Fuyang People's Hospital were divided into the male groups (n=57) and the female groups (n=57). The RTG of the patients was obtained by formula method. The renal glucose threshold, biochemical and clinical data of male and female patients were compared and analyzed.Results The average RTG value of diabetic patients was (11.25±2.68) mmol/L. The RTG value, RTG classification, age, course of disease, low-density lipoprotein (LDL-C), high-density lipoprotein (HDL-C) and blood glucose mean (MBG) of the two groups of patients were different (P<0.05), while fasting blood glucose, glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting C-peptide, cholesterol (CHO), triglycerides (TG), blood creatinine, uric acid, 24 h urine glucose, body mass index (BMI) and history of hypertension were not different (P>0.05). Linear regression analysis showed that BMI (β=0.379, 95%CI:0.272~0.487), HbA1c (β=0.668, 95%CI:0.471~0.866) and gender (β=1.912, 95%CI:1.164~2.661) were the influencing factors of RTG in patients with type 2 diabetes; BMI (β=0.314, 95%CI:0.156~0.437) and HbA1c (β=0.643,95%CI:0.387~0.900) were the RTG of male patients with type 2 diabetes influencing factors; BMI (β=.4258, 95%CI:0.272~0.578) was influencing factors of RTG in female patients with type 2 diabetes (P<0.05). Conclusion Gender is an influencing factor for the RTG of patients with type 2 diabetes. The RTG value of women is higher than that of men. |
