Reports a retrospective hospital-based analysis linking higher triglyceride-glucose-body mass index values with increased diabetic kidney disease prevalence in type 2 diabetes patients.
Key Takeaways
- Each 10-unit increase in TyG-BMI was associated with an 8.5% higher odds of DKD (OR 1.085, 95% CI 1.059–1.112).
- TyG-BMI showed a dose–response relationship with DKD risk across quartiles, with significant trend testing.
- DKD patients had higher age, diabetes duration, blood pressure, adiposity measures, glycemia, triglycerides, and TyG-BMI than non-DKD patients.
