Metabolic abnormalities, but not obesity, contribute to the mildly reduced eGFR in middle-aged and elderly Chinese.
2014
Background
The role of obesity as a determinant of kidney dysfunction has not reached an agreement and the underlying reason may be due to the heterogeneity of obese phenotypes. The aim of the study was to explore the associations of different obese phenotypes with the change of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and the roles of obesity and metabolic abnormalities in this association.
