Key result
Higher para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness was independently associated with lower serum HDL levels but increased cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Why the study?
Para and perirenal fat is associated with cardiovascular diseases, prompting assessment of its relationship with serum HDL levels and HDL cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with T2DM.
Does para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness correlate with serum HDL level and cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?

Should not yet alter HDL interpretation in T2DM; leaves open a BMI-independent quantity-function discordance needing prospective confirmation.

Does para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness correlate with serum HDL level and cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Para-perirenal fat thickness is independently associated with lower serum HDL levels but increased cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Ke et al. (2021) conducted a cross-sectional in Type 2 diabetes mellitus (n=58). Para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness (PUFT) was evaluated on Serum high-density lipoprotein (HDL) level and cholesterol efflux capacity. Higher para-perirenal ultrasonographic fat thickness was independently associated with lower serum HDL levels but increased cholesterol efflux capacity in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
