Background Inflammatory and hemostatic disorders in diabetic microangiopathy (DMA) can be linked to thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor (TAFI) and its own gene polymorphisms. Thus, the study aimed to investigate the associations of plasma TAFI and gene polymorphisms with DMA in Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods Plasma TAFI of 223 patients with T2D was measured, and the genotypes and alleles of the 1040C/T, 438G/A, and 505G/A polymorphisms of the TAFI gene were analyzed. A ROC curve was constructed to evaluate the identifying power of TAFI between patients with T2D and DMA, and logistic regression analysis was used to observe the correlation of plasma TAFI and gene polymorphisms with the risk for DMA. Results Plasma TAFI was higher in patients with DMA than in patients with only T2D (p < 0.05). TAFI exhibited the largest area under ROC in identifying diabetic kidney disease (DKD) from only T2D (0.763, 95% CI [0.674–0.853], p < 0.01), and adjusted multivariate analysis showed a high odds ratio (OR: 15.72, 95% CI [4.573–53.987], p < 0.001) for DKD. Higher frequencies of the CT genotype and T allele of the 1040C/T polymorphism were found in DKD compared with only T2D (respectively p < 0.05), and the CT genotype exhibited a high OR (1.623, 95% CI [1.173–2.710], p < 0.05) for DKD. DKD patients with the CT genotype had higher plasma TAFI levels, while T2D and DKD patients with CC/TT genotypes had lower plasma TAFI levels. Conclusion Plasma TAFI and the CT genotype and T allele of the 1040C/T polymorphism are independent risk factors for DKD in Chinese T2D patients. |
