Description of intervention(s) / exposure
The study involves a screening visit to establish eligibility to the study based on presence or absence of diabetes status, renal impairment and macroalbuminia; and then a follow-up visit for blood and urine collection for isolation and characterisation of endothelial and urinary extracellular vesicles.


Comparisons will be made between three groups:
group 1 - type 2 diabetes, renal impairment [eGRF <60 ml/min] and no macroalbuminuria; group 2 - type 2 diabetes, renal impairment [eGFR <60 ml/min[ and macroalbuminuria
group 3 - no type 2 diabetes, no renal impairment [eGFR = to or > 60 ml/min] and no macroalbuminuria
Intervention code [1] 296515 0
Not applicable
Comparator / control treatment
control group is "health controls without diabetes" defined as no type 2 diabetes, no renal impairment [eGFR = to or > 60 ml/min], and no macroalbuminuria
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 300332 0
To determine the viability of identifying extracellular vesicles
i) from urine (exosomes)
ii) from plasma (microvesicles)
as biomarkers for diabetic nephropathy.
Timepoint [1] 300332 0
cross-sectional study with testing undertaken at the time of blood and urine sample collection
Secondary outcome [1] 331683 0
To determine if there are differences in extracellular vesicles from
i) urine
ii) plasma
between patients with diabetic nephropathy and healthy controls.
Timepoint [1] 331683 0
cross-sectional study with testing undertaken at the time of blood and urine sample collection

Eligibility

2. type 2 diabetes mellitus
with macroalbuminuria (urinary albumin:creatine = to or > 30mg/mmol and renal impairment (eGFR < 60 ml/min)
without albuminuria (urinary albumin:creatine < 3mg/mmol) but with renal impairment (eGFR < 60 ml/min)

(ii) healthy cohort
1. age 18-75 years
2. no type 2 diabetes
without albuminuria (urinary albumin:creatine < 3mg/mmol) but without renal impairment (eGFR = to or > 60 ml/min)
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
75 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
Yes
Key exclusion criteria
(i) type 2 diabetes cohort
1. pregnant females
2. known renal/renal tract disease other than diabetic nephropathy

(ii) healthy cohort
1. presence of any diabetes including history of gestational diabetes mellitus

3. known renal/renal tract disease other than diabetic nephropathy
4. pregnant females

Statistical methods / analysis
Differences between the three categories of participants (no type 2 diabetes/normal renal function/no albuminuria versus type 2 diabetes/renal impairment/no albuminuria versus type 2 diabetes/renal impairment/albuminuria) on baseline participant characteristics, and exosome and microvesicle amount and composition, will be by:
(i) ANOVA for continuous variables
(ii) chi2 test/Fisher exact for categorical variables.

The impact of clinical and biochemical factors on exosome and microvesicle amount and composition will be by:
(i) Pearson r correlation for normally distributed variables
(ii) Spearman rank correlation for non-normally distributed variables.
