Association between red cell distribution width-to-albumin ratio and risk of diabetic kidney disease: a cross-sectional NHANES study
Elevated RAR levels are significantly associated with increased risk of diabetic kidney disease among individuals with diabetes, suggesting its strong predictive potential. As a simple and cost-effective biomarker, RAR may serve as a useful tool for early DKD risk screening and stratification. However, prospective studies are warranted to further validate its clinical utility.
