Core Tip	This study proposed an innovative risk stratification model for diabetes kidney disease progression by combining metabolic and inflammatory biomarkers with renal parameters. A nomogram-based model was a good predictive tool and stratified patients into three groups: (1) Low-risk for progression; (2) Moderate-risk for progression; and (3) High-risk for progression. This readily applicable clinical model could help identify patients eligible for early intervention, tailoring treatment schemes based on their individual risk of progression and therefore reduce the burden of end-stage renal disease in high prevalence diabetes populations.
