Birthweight and risk of chronic kidney disease after a type 2 diabetes diagnosis in the DD2 cohort.

ABSTRACT:

Aims/hypothesis

Low birthweight (LBW) is associated with younger age, less obesity and more hypertension among people recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, as well as increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality risk. It is not known whether LBW is associated with an increased risk of incident chronic kidney disease (CKD) among people with a type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

Methods

Original midwife records were retrieved for 5982 participants with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes enrolled in the Danish Center for Strategic Research in Type 2 Diabetes (DD2) cohort between 2010 and 2024. They were followed until first incident CKD diagnosis, defined as either two eGFR measurements <60 ml/min per 1.73m² or two urine albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR) measurements >3
