ASSOCIATION BETWEEN RELATIVE ESTIMATED GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE CHANGES AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN PATIENTS WITH TYPE 2 DIABETES

摘要

Introduction: Research supporting the validity of changes in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a surrogate endpoint for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) or other clinical outcomes in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is limited. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the association between relative changes in eGFR and clinical outcomes in patients with T2DM.
