Introduction: Insulin resistance (IR) is a risk factor for Cardiovascular mortality in ESRD patients. This study measured IR in patients with ESRD using homeostasis model assessment (HOMA)-IR model, and then derived insulin sensitivity (HOMA-%S) and beta cell function (HOMA-%B).
Material: The study was done between December 2016 and May 2017. Participants were divided into 2 groups: CKD stage V not on dialysis (CKDV-ND) and CKD V on hemodialysis (CKDVD). Fasting blood glucose, fasting insulin level and c-peptide were measured and IR, HOMA-%S, HOMA-%B were calculated by HOMA using Insulin level (IR-Ins) and C-peptide (IR-cp
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
