Hyperglycemia induced oxidative stress in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus modify various biomolecules to cause Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). IMA (Ischemia-Modified Albumin) is one such oxidative stress marker already examined in various clinical events but have not yet been evaluated in different stages of DN. Aim: To estimate and assess the relationship of IMA with glycemic status and lipid parameters in all stages of DN. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Place and Duration of Study: Study was conducted at Department of Biochemistry, Kasturba Medical College Hospitals, Mangaluru conducted between 2014 and 2015. Original Research Article Ahmad et al.; IJBCRR, 27(2): 1-9, 2019; Article no.IJBCRR.51340 2 Materials and Methods: There were 60 type 2 diabetic cases and 30 healthy controls. Diabetic cases were further categorized into three equal groups on the basis of UACR (urine albumincreatinine ratio), DN stage I having UACR less than 30 mg/g, DN stage II having UACR 30 to 300 mg/g, and DN stage III having UACR ≥ 300 mg/g of creatinine. Using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay serum IMA level was estimated whereas automated analyzers was used for serum creatinine, HbA1c, urine albumin and urine creatinine analysis. Results: Lowest level of IMA (109 ng/mL) measured in DN stage I, which was significantly different from those in DN stage II (154 ng/mL) and DN stage III (178 ng/mL). The significant positive correlation between IMA and fasting blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin were present in stage II and stage III DN. In this study significant positive correlation of serum IMA to serum total cholesterol, low density lipoprotein cholesterol and negative correlation with high density lipoprotein were revealed in all stage of DN. Conclusion: Current study postulates that early evaluation of serum IMA in diabetic patients with deranged lipid profile will provide an index of nephropathy development. This will help in prognosis and controlling complication in diabetes mellitus.
