Abstract
In their investigation, Wang et al conducted a prospective study of the association between excessive abdominal fat and renal outcomes in 35 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and diabetic kidney disease (1). Renal outcome was defined as end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and initiation of renal replacement therapy. By multivariate Cox regression analysis, adjusted hazard ratio (95% confidence interval) of a higher visceral fat area (V)/subcutaneous fat area (S) for progression to ESRD was 2.212 (0.543 to 9.005).
