The analysis of risk factors for diabetic kidney disease progression: a single-centre and cross-sectional experiment in Shanghai by Shan Huang, Juan Du, Nan Zhao, Wen Liu, Fan Hu, Xiaoxu Ge, Xiaohong Jiang, Wenfang Peng, Lisha Shen, Lili Xia

“…Subgroups were grouped according to the course of diabetes disease, and multivariate logistics regression analysis was performed to find out the different risk factors in two subgroups. Finally, the receiver operating characteristics curve is used to verify the result.Results The logistic regression model indicated age (OR=1.020, p=0.017, 95% CI 1.004 to 1.040), systolic blood pressure (OR=1.013, p=0.006, 95% CI 1.004 to 1.022), waist circumference (OR=1.021, p=0.015, 95% CI 1.004 to 1.038), white blood cells (WBC, OR=1.185, p=0.001, 95% CI 1.085 to 1.295) and triglycerides (TG, OR=1.110, p=0.047, 95% CI 1.001 to 1.230) were risk factors for DKD, while free triiodothyronine (fT3, OR=0.711, p=0.011, 95% CI 0.547 to 0.926) was a protective factor for DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). …”
