Abstract
Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) is a major feature of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and plays a crucial role in the accelerated progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). It has been found that surrogates of IR are of high value in assessing IR status. This study aims to evaluate the associations between surrogates of IR and DKD in T2DM.
Methods: A total of 1026 patients with T2DM from January 2021 to February 2022 were selected in our final analysis. Logistic regression analysis and the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed to assess the correlation between IR surrogates and DKD.
Results: The levels of triglyceride glucose-waist circumference (TyG-WC), triglyceride glucose-waist to height ratio (TyG-WHtR), visceral adiposity index (VAI), and lipid accumulation product (LAP) were significantly higher in the microalbuminuria group and macroalbuminuria group compared with the normoalbuminuria group (P < 0.05). The results of multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the highest quartile of triglyceride/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (TG/HDL-C), triglyceride glucose (TyG) index, TyG-WHtR, TyG-WC, LAP, and VAI were significantly correlated with DKD (all P < 0.05). The ROC curves and results showed that TyG area under the curve (AUC) > VAI AUC > TG/HDL-C AUC > TyG-WHtR AUC > LAP AUC > 0.7 > TyG-WC AUC > metabolic index of insulin resistance (METS-IR) AUC > 0.6 > triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) AUC > 0.5.
Conclusions: The predictive value of IR surrogates for DKD in T2DM varies. TG/HDL-C, TyG, TyG-WHtR, LAP, and VAI can effectively predict DKD and are expected to be simple and economic biological indicators of DKD risk.
期刊介绍:
Diabetes Therapy is an international, peer reviewed, rapid-publication (peer review in 2 weeks, published 3–4 weeks from acceptance) journal dedicated to the publication of high-quality clinical (all phases), observational, real-world, and health outcomes research around the discovery, development, and use of therapeutics and interventions (including devices) across all areas of diabetes. Studies relating to diagnostics and diagnosis, pharmacoeconomics, public health, epidemiology, quality of life, and patient care, management, and education are also encouraged.
The journal is of interest to a broad audience of healthcare professionals and publishes original research, reviews, communications and letters. The journal is read by a global audience and receives submissions from all over the world. Diabetes Therapy will consider all scientifically sound research be it positive, confirmatory or negative data. Submissions are welcomed whether they relate to an international and/or a country-specific audience, something that is crucially important when researchers are trying to target more specific patient populations. This inclusive approach allows the journal to assist in the dissemination of all scientifically and ethically sound research.
