The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether the urine protein to creatinine ratio (uPCR) has have clinical significance in relation to cardiovascular risk associated with carotid artery intima-media thickness (cIMT) progression, in subjects with type 2 diabetes and normoalbuminuria. MethodsIn this retrospective longitudinal study on T2D, we recruited 927 subjects with normoalbuminuria (urine … Continue reading #Proteinuria as a Significant Predictive Factor for the Progression of Carotid Artery #Atherosclerosis in Non-Albuminuric Type 2 #Diabetes

Background & AimsTo clarify the relationship between metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). MethodsThe participants were divided into four groups by the presence or absence of fatty liver disease (FLD) and metabolic dysfunction (MD). MAFLD was defined as having both FLD and MD, whereas CKD was defined as estimated glomerular … Continue reading Metabolic associated fatty #liver disease is the risk factor for chronic #kidney disease
To examine whether glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RA) and sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) are preferentially initiated among patients with cardiovascular disease, heart failure (HF), or nephropathy, where these drug classes have established benefit, compared with dipeptidyl peptidase 4 inhibitors (DPP-4i), for which corresponding benefits have not been demonstrated. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We … Continue reading Second-Line Therapy for Type 2 #Diabetes Management: The Treatment/Benefit Paradox of #Cardiovascular and #Kidney Comorbidities
The meta-analysis aimed to investigate the association of visceral fat area (VFA), waist circumference (WC), waist-hip ratio (WHR) and waist-height ratio (WHtR) with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetic patients. Methods: Included studies were searched from Pubmed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library before July 2020. We synthesized the pooled results of the above … Continue reading Meta-Analysis of the Relationship between Abdominal #Obesity and Diabetic #Kidney Disease in Type 2 #Diabetic Patients
