The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between albuminuria and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha or soluble TNF receptors (sTNF-R1, sTNF-R2) in eighty-eight non-obese Japanese type 2 diabetic patients stratified into two groups according to albuminuria status-microalbuminuria or normoalbuminuria. Patients with microalbuminuria were older and had significantly higher concentrations of sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2 than those with normoalbuminuria. There was, however, no significant difference in sex, diabetes duration, smoking, BMI, systolic and diastolic blood pressure, HbA(1c), serum creatinine, and lipid profile between the two groups. Although serum TNF-alpha was positively correlated to serum sTNF-R1 and sTNF-R2, serum TNF-alpha. level did not differ with respect to albuminuria. Univariate regression analysis showed that urinary albumin concentration was positively correlated to age (r = 0.380, p < 0.001), serum creatinine (r=0.214, p
