Abstract Objective: To investigate the association between weekend catch-up sleep (WCS) and the risk of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Subjects and methods: Data from 1,621 adults aged 18 years or older from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2017-2020 were obtained for this cross-sectional study. WCS was calculated as the mean weekend sleep duration minus the mean weekday sleep duration. The outcomes were DKD, a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and proteinuria. The associations between WCS and DKD, […]

ABSTRACT Objective Several formulas based in different biomarkers may be used to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GRF). However, all of them have some limitations, and it is very important to evaluate their performances in different groups of patients. Therefore, we compared GFR, as estimated by creatinine-based and cystatin C-based equations, according to albuminuria, in type 1 diabetes (T1DM), in an observational case-control study. Subjects and methods T1DM patients were classified according to albuminuria: normoalbuminuric (n = 63), microalbuminuric (n = […]
