Using the fatty liver index (FLI) as a validated indicator of hepatic steatosis, this study aims to provide insight about the possible links between fatty liver and the development of chronic kidney disease (CKD). SETTING:Hospital. PARTICIPANTS:We performed a population-based study on 9436 subjects aged 40 years or older. PRIMARY AND SECONDARY OUTCOME MEASURES:FLI is calculated using an algorithm based on body mass index, waist circumference, triglycerides and γ-glutamyltransferase. Increased urinary albumin excretion was defined according to the urinary albumin to creatinine ratio ranges ≥30 mg/g. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73 m² or presence of alBMJ opene019097https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC5829809biostudies-literatureFatty liver index, albuminuria and the association with chronic kidney disease: a population-based study in China.PMC5829809Yan LLin DLi FQi YFeng WRen MChen CLiu DSun KfalseFatty liver index, albuminuria and the association with chronic kidney disease: a population-based study in China.OBJECTIVES:The effects of lipid metabolism disorder on renal damage have drawn much attention.
