Asociación de parámetros antropométricos y bioquímicos con la función renal en adultos con diabetes mellitus tipo 2 atendidos en el Hospital Abel Gilbert Pontón, 2022–2023.

Abstract

Introduction: Type II Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that affects millions of people worldwide, constituting one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality globally. Its sustained progression and the difficulty of maintaining adequate blood glucose control lead to various complications. Among these, kidney disease is of particular concern, as its prevalence continues to rise due to factors associated with modern lifestyles and the coexistence of other conditions such as hypertension and obesity, which increase the risk of renal damage in diabetic patients. Objective: To determine the association between anthropometric and biochemical parameters and renal function in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus treated at Abel Gilbert Pontón Hospital, 2022–2023. Materials and Methods: Analytical crosssectional study with a retrospective basis, conducted through the review of medical records. Biochemical variables were analyzed (urea, creatinine, glomerular filtration rate [GFR], blood glucose, and glycated hemoglobin). Results: Chi-square analysis showed no statistically significant association between BMI and renal function (p = 0.796), indicating that nutritional status by weight categories is not related to glomerular filtration deterioration in the studied population.Conclusion:It was determined that there is no association between BMI and renal function, suggesting that nutritional status by weight categories is not related to glomerular filtration impairment in this population. Likewise, glycated hemoglobin and fasting blood glucose did not show a meaningful relationship with renal function stages; however, there is a significant association between urea and creatinine levels and the degree of renal deterioration.
