Abstract:
To ascertain whether simple indexes of insulin sensitivity based on a fasting blood sample may be reliable measures of insulin sensitivity in combined kidney-pancreas- transplanted patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Estimates of insulin sensitivity based on fasting plasma glucose, insulin (homeostasis model assessment of insulin sensitivity [HOMA-IS], Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index [QUICKI]), and free fatty acid (revised QUICKI) concentrations were compared with insulin sensitivity as assessed with the gold standard technique (euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp) in 22 patients who had undergone kidney-pancreas transplantation (KP-Tx) and 18 matched healthy subjects (NOR).
RESULTS: In KP-Tx patients, indexes based on the glucose-insulin product, HOMA-IS (r = 0.47, P = 0.03) and QUICKI (r = 0.47, P = 0.03), were shown to be reliable measures of insulin sensitivity. The introduction of fasting plasma free fatty acid concentration in the revised QUICKI (r = 0.76, P < 0.0001) considerably improved the power of prediction of the clamp-based measure of insulin sensitivity as observed in the healthy control subjects (r = 0.83, P < 0.0001).
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that in KP-Tx patients, HOMA-IS and QUICKI are reliable measures of insulin sensitivity; the additional incorporation of fasting plasma free fatty acid concentration into the glucose-insulin product (revised QUICKI) resulted in a considerably more powerful index.
