Elevated atherogenic index of plasma is associated with increased cardiorenal syndrome prevalence: a cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is a complex clinical condition characterized by the simultaneous dysfunction of the heart and kidneys. The atherogenic index of plasma (AIP), calculated as the logarithm of the ratio of triglycerides (TG) to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), has emerged as a potential biomarker for cardiovascular risk. This study investigates the association between AIP and CRS, aiming to explore the potential linkage between AIP and CRS.

Methods

Data were sourced from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey spanning 2005-2018, involving 35,365 participants after applying exclusion criteria. The primary exposure variable was AIP, categorized into quartiles, while the primary outcome variable was CRS, defined by the coexistence of c
