Abstract:Background: The triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index, proven a reliable and simple surrogate of insulin resistance, has shown potential associations with cardiovascular outcomes and renal diseases. This research delved into the utility of the TyG index in predicting the risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), an area not extensively covered in existing literature.
Methods: A cohort of patients with CAD was recruited from the intensive care unit (ICU), and categorized into … Show more
