Hypertension and nephropathy in diabetes R Ajjan Senior Lecturer and Honorary Consultant Diabetes and Endocrinology The LIGHT Laboratories University of Leeds Leeds General Infirmary
Case 1 A 27 year old with T1DM for 14 years. • Complications • Background retinopathy • Current treatment • Novomix 30: 28 and 16 units • Recent results • HbA1c 7.8% • U&Es • Na 140 mmol/l, K 3.7 mmol/l, Urea 3.4 mmol/l, Creatinine 77 mmol/l • Lipids • TC 4.9 mmol/l, TG 1.7 mmol/l • ACR 4.1 and 3.9 (N<2.5) checked twice in 2 months
Discussion points (Case 1) • Patient has microalbuminuria together with at least one other microvascular complication (discuss treatment ARB/ACEI). • Needs tightening of glycaemic control to prevent further deterioration of microvascular complications (UKPDS) • Increased CV risk; need to consider a statin (JBS)

Microalbuminuria and CV outcome(DM and non-DM individuals) • MA is associated with CAC • MA is associated with carotid and femoral artery stenosis • MA is associated with LVH/LV dysfunction and ECG abnormalities • MA and MI • a marker of silent MI (DM and non-DM) • related to MI size • a predictor of 1 yr mortality post MI • MA is a predictor of ischemic stroke Liu, J Am Coll Cardiol 2003, 41:2022 Earle, Diabetologia 1996, 39:854 Diercks, Eur Heart J 2000, 21;1922 Berton J Hypertens 1998, 16:515 Spoelstra-de Man, Diab Care 2001, 24:2097 Beamer, Arch Neurol 1999, 56: 699 Kramer, Hypertension 2005, 46:38

Case 2 • 18 year old male with T1DM for 2 years. • No known complications • Results • BP 160/90 • HbA1c 8.1% • Na 136, K 4.1, Creatinine 95, Urea 7.5 • Chol 6.7, TG 5.6 • Urine ACR 495 (N <2.5) • Urine MC&S negative
Learning points (Case 2) • Severe microalbuminuria in the absence of other microvascular disease is unlikely to be diabetes-related and needs to be fully investigated (this patient had glomerulonephritis with nephrotic syndrome) • Raised TC should be discussed (? Secondary to nephrotic syndrome)
Prevention of DM nephropathy Yearly screen using ACR. Rule out microalbuminuria secondary to other causes. • Exercise. • Poor glycemic control. • Poorly controlled Hypertension. • UTI. • Pregnancy. • Fever. • Haematuria. • CCF. If positive, repeat twice (in 3 months). If 2 of 3 positive, initiate treatment.
Case 3 • A 31 year old T1DM patient for 5 years. He is complaining of episodes of palpitation and sweating. Also, dizziness on standing. • Treatment • Novorapid 12 units tds • Lantus 24 units od • Results • Weight 70, BMI 24 • BP L: 195/105; S 170/95 • HbA1c: 7.1% • U&Es • Na 134 mmol/L, K 4.3 mmol/L, U 4.3 mmol/L, Creatinine 82 mmol/L • Lipids • TC 3.9, TG 2.1
Learning points (Case 3) • Severe hypertension in a young patient, particularly in the presence of symptoms, should be fully investigated. • This patient had a pheochromocytoma
Secondary causes of HBP • Endocrine • Pheochromocytoma • Conn’s • Acromegaly • Cushing’s • Non-endocrine • Renal artery stenosis • Coarctation of the aorta
Case 4 • 57 year old T1DM for more than 30 years. • Complications • Microalbuminuria • Hypertension • Hyperlipidaemia • Treatment • Glargine and novorapid • Ramipril 10 mg • BFZ 2.5 mg • Atorvastatin 10mg • Aspirin 75 mg • Results • Weight 65 (BMI 24), HbA1c 7.3%, BP 155/86 • Na 137, K 4.9, Urea 6.1, Creatinine 102 • TC 4.9, LDL 2.9, TG 1.3
Learning points (Case 4) • Recognise that HBP is the most important point to focus on (discuss antihypertensive treatment options). • Due to multiple risk factors, a more aggressive approach with lipid lowering agents is probably warranted.

Case 5 • 47 year old with insulin treated T2DM and 12 months history of erectile dysfunction • Results • HbA1c 7.3% • U&Es N • Chol 5.8 mmol/l, TG 2.3 mmol/l • ALT 160, AP 397, Bili 31 • Testosterone 5 (low), FSH 1.1 (low), LH 0.8 (low) • Prolactin 233 • Would you give a statin? What would you do?
Learning points (case 5) • Discuss erectile dysfunction in DM • Recognise high lipids. • Recognise abnormal LFTs (? Statins CI): discuss when to investigate abnormal LFTs in DM patients. • Unifying diagnosis (haemachromatosis)
Classification of Diabetes (2) • Latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA); Type I. • Maturity onset DM of the young (MODY); Type II. • Gestational diabetes. • Secondary: pancreatic destruction (pancreatitis, cystic fibrosis), Acromegaly, Cushing’s syndrome, Haemochromatosis.
Case 6 38 year old lady diagnosed with T1DM for 15 years. Also suffers from a bipolar disorder. Treatment Levemir 16 and 12 units Novorapid (CHO counting 1:10) Lithium Complaining of tiredness Results HbA1c 7.8% FBC Hb 11.1, MCV 100, WBC 4.6, Plat 221. U&Es Na 138 mmol/l, K 4.3 mmol/l, Cr 87 mmol/l, Urea 5.1 mmol/l. Lipids TC 6.8 mmol/l, TG 1.6 mmol/l (4.8 and 1.4 respectively, 8 months ago)
Learning points (case 6) • A big change in TC over 8 months is suspicious (need to think about secondary hypercholesterolaemia) • Notice raised MCV • Dx hypothyroidism
Case 7 • 27 year old lady with T1DM for 12 years • No documented complications, no FH • On qds insulin; feels her diabetes is well controlled • Bloods HbA1c 6.6% TC 5.1 (HDL 2.2; LDL 2.9, TG 1.1) U&Es (normal); alb/creatinine ratio (normal)
Learning points (case 7) • A woman in a child bearing age. • Minor rise in TC • No other complications/good DM control. • The immediate risk is negligible and therefore medical treatment is probably not advised.
JBS guidelines • TC <4.0 and LDL<2.0 or 25% reduction in TC and 30% reduction in LDL. • TG<1.7 and HDL>1.0 are preferred (but not targets) • For audit purposes TC<5 and LDL<3!
Who should be given statins (JBS) • All diabetics above the age of 40 (T1DM and T2DM) • Individuals between 18-39 who have diabetes and: • Significant retinopathy • Nephropathy • HbA1c>9.0% • HBP requiring treatment • TC>6.0 • FH of IHD • Presence of the metabolic syndrome (central obesity, TG, HDL)
