Association Between Renal Fat Fraction and Early Biomarkers of Kidney Injury in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
The study systematically demonstrates a significant association between renal FF and early biomarkers of kidney injury in T2DM, which may suggest the potential role of renal fat accumulation in the pathogenesis of diabetic nephropathy. These findings provide clinical data support for the development of a fat-targeted intervention study. Future research should further elucidate the long-term mechanistic role of renal FF in diabetic nephropathy, as well as its potential value in early diagnosis and therapeutic applications.
