| Core Tip |
This study underscores the significance of waist-to-hip ratio (WHR) as an independent predictor of early renal injury in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients, highlighting its potential as a preventive tool for diabetic nephropathy. It reveals a strong association between elevated WHR and abnormal serum lipid levels, which are common in all stages of renal injury, suggesting a pivotal role of WHR in early detection and clinical management of T2DM-related renal complications. |
