Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To examine the associations between inflammatory markers, coagulation and fibrinolysis parameters, and microvascular complications in 182 Chinese patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who sought treatment at a large hospital in Zhejiang province, China. METHODS: We investigated the relationships of blood inflammatory markers with hemostatic markers in 87 patients with T2DM who did not have complications and 95 patients with T2DM who had microvascular complications. RESULTS: C-reactive protein (CRP) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were significantly correlated with fibrinogen, thrombin-antithrombin III complex (TAT III), plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1), von Willebrand factor (vWF), and coagulation factors (F) VII in patients with T2DM who had microvascular complications (P <.05). Based on logistic regression analysis, the highest-tertile groups of fibrinogen, FVII, and FVIII, corresponded to a greater risk of high CRP, whereas risk of high IL-6 was significantly greater in the groups with highest-tertile values for fibrinogen, FVII, TAT III, PAI-1, and activated protein C (APC). CONCLUSIONS: Elevated levels of CRP and IL-6 might be associated with increased coagulability and a tendency towards thrombus formation in patients with T2DM who have microvascular complications.
