Abnormal Obesity Phenotype Is Associated with Reduced eGFR among Diabetes Mellitus and Hypertensive Patients in a Peri-Urban Community in Ghana
Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to obesity and defects in insulin action. Significant complications of DM include kidney disease due to its association with hypertension and obesity. Thus, the contribution of the various obesity phenotypes t...

| description | Background. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease characterized by hyperglycemia due to obesity and defects in insulin action. Significant complications of DM include kidney disease due to its association with hypertension and obesity. Thus, the contribution of the various obesity phenotypes to the kidney impairment observed among hypertensive and diabetes mellitus patients is of major concern. Aim. The study assessed the association between obesity phenotypes and reduced glomerular filtration rate among diabetes mellitus and hypertensive patients. Methods. Three hundred and ten (310) adult patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, or both who attended the Presbyterian Hospital, Dormaa Ahenkro, from October 2016 to March 2017 were recruited for the study. Blood samples were collected to analyze biochemical parameters (fasting blood glucose (FBG), lipid profile, and creatinine). Questionnaires were used to collect sociodemographic information, and anthropometrics were appropriately measured. The estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was calculated using the CKD-EPI equation, and reduced eGFR was defined as eGFR <90 ml/min/1.73 m2. Results. The prevalence of metabolically healthy nonobese (MHNO), metabolically healthy obese (MHO), metabolically abnormal nonobese (MANO), and metabolically abnormal obese (MAO) phenotypes among the study participants was 30.65%, 4.50%, 52.90%, and 11.94%, respectively. The highest prevalence of reduced eGFR (29/37 (78.38%)) was seen among the MAO group. This was followed by the MANO, MHO, and MHNO with a reduced eGFR prevalence of 62.20%, 57.64%, and 37.89%, respectively. After normalization with MHNO, the reduced eGFR was 1.51, 1.64, and 2.06 times expressed in MHO, MANO, and MAO. For the total samples, when MHNO was maintained as a reference, reduced eGFR was significantly associated with MANO (aOR = 3.07 (95% CI = 1.76–5.35), P<0.001) and MAO (aOR = 5.67 (95% CI = 2.66–17.27), P<0.001) even after adjusting for age, gender, smoking, and alcohol intake. This association was maintained among the female study participants when stratified by gender, and in addition, among the female participants, reduced eGFR was also associated with MHO (aOR = 4.19 (95% CI = 1.06–16.53), P=0.041). Conclusion. There is a high prevalence of abnormal metabolic phenotypes among diabetes mellitus patients, and these were significantly associated with reduced eGFR among our study participants. |
