Hematocrit, Independent of Chronic Kidney Disease, Predicts Adverse Cardiovascular Outcomes in Chinese Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

Abstract: 1OBJECTIVE -Anemia and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are risk factors for cardiovascular diseases in diabetes. We examined the association between hematocrit, stratified by the presence of CKD, and cardiovascular events in a cohort of Chinese subjects with type 2 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS-A total of 3,983 patients who underwent assessment for diabetes complications were recruited. Subjects were categorized into five groups. Group I included subjects with hematocrit below the normal sex-specific rang… Show more

“…The effects of hyperglycemia (6) and BMI-related bias (5) have led most investigators to avoid using the Cockcroft-Gault equation in recent reports (27,28). As the Cockcroft-Gault equation calculates GFR proportional to body weight, it considerably overestimates obese subjects.…”

“…Although it is not ideal the MDRD formula should be calculated in MS individuals. The influences of hyperglicemia (16) and weight raleted bias have led most analyzer to desist from the CG Formula in recent studies (17,18). As the CG Formula estimates GFR relative to weight, it significantly axaggerate overweight subjects.…”
