Prevalence of hyperfiltration among US youth/young adults with overweight and obesity: A population-based association study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Determine prevalence of hyperfiltration (high estimated glomerular filtration rate "eGFR" >95th percentile for age/sex) among youth and association with BMI classification.

Methods

With the use of 1999 to 2016 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey data from 12- to 29-year-olds, data for serum creatinine and thresholds for high eGFR were normed using a metabolically healthy subsample (no albuminuria, healthy weights, normal blood pressures, blood glucoses, lipids, and liver enzymes). Logistic regression examined the association of BMI classification (healthy weight, overweight, and obesity classes 1-3) with hyperfiltration (eGFR > 95th percentile for age/sex), adjusted for diabetes and other covariates.

Results

Of 12- to 29-yea
