The overall aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency and its association with diabetic nephropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. This study is a single center retrospective cross-sectional design conducted at private medical center. The study group included all patients (18 years or older) suffering from type 2 diabetes mellitus that attended the diabetic clinic from September 2019 to January 2021. The main outcome variable is a trough level of (p value < 0.05 was chosen as the criterion to make decisions regarding statistical significance. Among the 453 diabetic patients included in study, 48.6% (n = 220) were male and 51.4% (n = 233) were female. The mean age ± S.D of the patients was 54.5 ± 10.6 years old. Out of 453 diabetic patients, 71.1% (95% CI: 66.9%–75.3%) had vitamin D deficiency (25OHD < 20 ng/mL). There was a statistically significant association between 25OHD level and diabetic nephropathy in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Diabetic patients with e-GFR < 60 mL/min more likely to have vitamin D deficiency (p < 0.001). Similarly, individuals with Alb: Cr ratio > 30 mg/g were more likely to have vitamin D deficiency (p < 0.001). Moreover, diabetic patients with serum creatinine > 1.8 mg/dL were more likely to have vitamin D deficiency (p < 0.001). The study revealed a high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. A significant association was reported between 25-hydroxyvitamin D, e-GFR and Alb: Cr ratio. |
