Abstract

Background: Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is a prevalent metabolic disorder associated with various complications, including proteinuria, which is a key indicator of renal dysfunction.


Aim: The main goal of this research is to assess whether Vitamin D supplementation can effectively mitigate proteinuria in patients diagnosed with T2DM. The research seeks to elucidate potential role of Vitamin D in ameliorating renal complications and improving overall kidney health in this patient population.


Place of Study: The first Affiliated Hospital Of Xinjiang Medical university.


Methods: A randomized controlled trial conducted involving individuals diagnosed with T2DM and exhibiting proteinuria. Individuals  randomized at random to the intervention group, who get Vitamin D supplements, and the control group, who receive a placebo. A total of 150 individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus recruited from the outpatient department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University. The intervention group receive a specified dose of Vitamin D for a predetermined duration. UACR measured at baseline and regularly during the study period to assess changes in proteinuria. SPSS 24.0 was used to analyze all data.


Results: The gender distribution was 53.3% males and 46.7% females. The mean age of the participants was 52.4 ± 7.8years. The mean Body Mass Index (BMI) was 29.1 ± 3.4 kg/m² and the average diabetes duration 6.2 ± 2.1. Preliminary data presented, including the average alteration in UACR levels, providing insights into effect of Vitamin D supplementation on proteinuria in individuals with T2DM.


Conclusion: In this study, the influence of Vitamin D supplementation on proteinuria in individuals with type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, with a focus on the average alteration in urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), suggests a potential positive effect. While additional research is warranted to establish a definitive link, preliminary findings indicate that Vitamin D supplementation may contribute to mitigating proteinuria in this population.
