Objective To determine the relationship between the hemoglobin glycation index(HGI)and al-buminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM).Methods A total of 601 subjects with T2DM who were treated at the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from March 2016 to November 2019 were enrolled in this study.Clinical data and laboratory examination indicators,including the fasting plasma glucose level,percent glycated hemoglobin A1c,and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio(UACR),were collected.According to the calculated HGI values,patients were divided into low HGI(L-HGI;n=200),medium HGI(M-HGI;n=200),and high HGI(H-HGI;n=201)groups.Patients were also divided into normal albuminuria(n=315),microalbuminuria(n=232),and macroalbuminuria groups(n=54),according to the UACR.Multivariate logistic regression was used to determine the relationship between the HGI and albuminuria.Results The incidence of albuminuria in the L-HGI,M-HGI,and H-HGI groups was 35.50%,49.50%,and 57.71%,respectively.The incidence of albuminuria increased as the HGI level increased;there was a statistically significant difference between the three groups(P<0.01).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that after adjusting for gender,age,diabetic duration,body mass index,triglycerides,cholesterol,creatinine,urea nitrogen,serum uric acid,and other confounding factors,the HGI level was an independent risk factor for abnormal albuminuria in T2DM patients(OR=1.26,95%CI 1.12-1.42,P<0.01).The area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve for the HGI level to predict albuminuria in patients with T2DM was 0.602,with a sensitivity of 62.80% and a specificity of 57.10%.Conclusions The HGI level is shown to be closely related to the occurrence of albuminuria in patients with T2DM.An elevated HGI level increases the risk of albuminuria,which may serve as a new biological predictor of diabetic kidney disease.
