Dysregulation of mineral metabolism: association of albumin-corrected calcium and vitamin D with diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes—a cross-sectional study
We demonstrated that elevated albumin-corrected Ca and decreased 1,25-(OH)<sub>2</sub>-VitD<sub>3</sub> were significantly associated with DKD in T2DM patients. These findings suggest the potential of mineral metabolism parameters, particularly albumin-corrected Ca, to enhance early detection and risk stratification. Future prospective cohort studies are essential to establish a causal relationship and clarify their clinical therapeutic guidance value.
