Association between abdominal CT-based body composition parameters and early diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective cross-sectional study
Reduced renal sinus fat density is significantly associated with early DKD in T2DM patients, demonstrating potential utility as an imaging biomarker for risk stratification. These findings support the integration of CT-based body composition analysis into comprehensive DKD screening strategies.
