Association between neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio and diabetic kidney disease in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients: a cross-sectional study from NHANES 2009-2018.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The neutrophil-percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR), as a low-cost and easily accessible inflammatory biomarker, has garnered considerable attention in various disease studies in recent years. Specifically, existing research has suggested a significant correlation between NPAR and diabetic retinopathy, indicating its potential relevance to diabetic complications. However, despite diabetic kidney disease (DKD) being a complication that severely affects the quality of life of diabetic patients, the association between the prevalence of DKD and NPAR remains to be elucidated. Therefore, this study aims to explore the potential link between NPAR and DKD in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Methods

We extracted complete data on neutrophil percentage, plasma albumin,
