Serum Amyloid A, Malnutrition, Relative Hyperglycemia, and the Development of Diabetic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes

Key Points

• To examine the relationship between malnutrition, serum amyloid A, and diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in type 2 diabetes patients.
• Analyzed the association between serum amyloid A, relative hyperglycemia, and DKD risk.
• Focused on non-overweight patients with type 2 diabetes.
• Compared levels of SAA, CRP, and HbA1c with DKD development.
• SAA and relative hyperglycemia showed a stronger association with DKD risk than CRP and HbA1c.
• Low nutritional status significantly contributes to DKD development in patients with type 2 diabetes.
• Findings highlight the importance of monitoring nutritional status in diabetes management.
