High Remnant Cholesterol As a Risk Factor for Developing Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients with Prediabetes and Type 2 Diabetes: a Cross-Sectional Study of a US Population.

To examine any potential links between remnant cholesterol (RC) and comorbid chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We used data from 2709 American people aged > 20 years from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2011–2018. Subjects were categorized according to whether they had comorbid CKD. Logistic regression models and smoothed curve fitting methods were employed to assess the association of RC with comorbid CKD in patients with prediabetes and T2DM. The 2709 participants included 1473 patients with T2DM and 1236 with prediabetes [impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and impaired fasting glucose (IFG)], of whom 744 (27.46
