Basic information and laboratory results were collected. Serum AST/ALT, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-2, IL-4, IL-6, IL-10 and interferon- γ (INF- γ) were also measured. DN was defined as microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the following formula: 186 × (serum creatinine)− 1.154× (age)− 0.203× (0.742 if female).Results: The AST/ALT in the macroalbuminuria group was higher than in the microalbuminuria and normoalbuminuria groups. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), IL-2, IL-4, IL-10 and INF-γ in the macroalbuminuria group were significantly higher than those in the two other groups. Multivariate logistical analysis showed that after adjusting confounding factors, TNF-α and high AST/ALT were independent risks for DN and macroalbuminuria. Furthermore, the AST/ALT had significantly positive correlation with TNF-α (r = 0.101, P = 0.048), IL-4 (r = 0.185, P = 0.005) and IL-6 (r = 0.274, P < 0.001) levels.Conclusion: This study showed that high AST/ALT was an independent risk factor for the DN. Additionally, AST/ALT was positively correlated with inflammation cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-4 and IL-6 levels.Keywords: AST/ALT, diabetic nephropathy, inflammatory factors, tumor necrosis factor-&#x03B1Xu JShi XPan YDove Medical Pressarticleast/altdiabetic nephropathyinflammatory factorstumor necrosis factor-αSpecialties of internal medicineRC581-951ENDiabetes, Metabolic Syndrome and Obesity: Targets and Therapy, Vol Volume 14, Pp 3831-3837 (2021)
