BMJ Diabetes Open Re...
  • Amongst 1,208 patients with T2DM & hypertension (mean age 58.3; 60.1% male), 42.5% had fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) index > 1.3
  • Elevated FIB-4 was independently associated with KDIGO 3–4 (high/very high risk) (OR 1.57, p=0.008) & CKD (OR 1.51, p=0.004)
  • Even within KDIGO low-risk groups, high FIB-4 correlated with vascular comorbidities (p<0.01)
  • FIB-4 may complement KDIGO for early CKD risk stratification.
