Does the triglyceride glucose (TyG) index predict the risk of acute kidney injury in critically ill patients with heart failure?
The TyG index may serve as a useful biomarker for predicting acute kidney injury in critically ill heart failure patients.
The results highlight the TyG index as a robust and independent predictor of the incidence of AKI and poor renal outcome in patients with HF in a critical condition. However, further confirmation of causality necessitates larger prospective studies.
Yang et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
