Relationship between the accuracy of glycemic markers and the chronic kidney disease stage in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

BACKGROUND It is important to establish glycemic markers which reflect accurate glycemic status in advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients; however, adequate glycemic markers have not been established. We evaluated the accuracy of glycemic markers in non-dialysis CKD patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS 139 non-dialysis CKD patients with diabetes were enrolled. The patients were divided into three groups as follows: group 1 (G1), patients with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) >= 60 mL/min/1.73 m2; group 2 (G2), 30 ≤ eGFR = 3.5 g/dL as group S1 (S1) and serum albumin = 3.5 g/dL.
