Elevated waist-to-hip ratio, as an abdominal obesity index, predicts the risk of diabetic kidney injury
In patients with T2DM, WHR level, rather than VSR level, is closely associated with early-stage renal injury. An abnormal serum lipid spectrum was common in all stages of renal injury and was strongly related to high WHR. Thus, WHR measurement might be a valuable tool for the early prevention of renal injury, which could guide clinical monitoring and prevent diabetic complications.
