Association of high sensitivity C-reactive protein-triglyceride glucose index and chronic kidney disease: a cross-sectional study

In a health examination population, a higher CTI level was independently and nonlinearly associated with an increased prevalence of CKD, and it showed better diagnostic performance than individual inflammatory or metabolic markers alone. The CTI may serve as a useful tool for identifying individuals at high risk for CKD, especially for early risk stratification in specific subgroups.
