Independent association between the visceral adiposity index and microalbuminuria in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes.

Published in: Diabetes/metabolism research and reviews (2019)

We are the first to show a clear association between the VAI and urinary albumin in Chinese type 2 diabetic patients. Additionally, the VAI and TG/HDL-c ratio had similar predictive power regarding albuminuria risk. The VAI could be a rapid and reliable tool for assessing early-stage renal damage in newly diagnosed T2DM patients.
