MAFLD and glomerular hyperfiltration in subjects with prediabetes, visceral obesity and preserved kidney function: A cross-sectional study.

Methods: We analyzed data from 6697 Spanish civil servants, aged 18-65 years, with fasting plasma glucose ≥ 100 and ≤ 125 mg/dL (prediabetes, ADA), waist circumference ≥ 94 cm in men and ≥ 80 cm in women (visceral obesity, IDF) and de-indexed estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 ml/min, collected during occupational health visits. The association between MAFLD and hyperfiltration (eGFR > age- and sex-specific 95th percentile) was tested by multivariable logistic regression analyses. Results: Overall, 4213 patients (62.9%) had MAFLD, and 330 (4.9%) were hyperfiltering. MAFLD was more frequent in hyperfiltering than in non-hyperfiltering subjects (86.4% vs 61.7%, P < 0.001). BMI, waist circumference, systolic, diastolic, mean arterial pressure, and prevalence of hypertension were higher in hyperfiltering than in non-hyperfiltering subjects (P < 0.05). MAFLD was independently associated with hyperfiltration, even after adjusting for common confounders [OR (95% CI): 3.36 (2.33-4.84), P < 0.001]. In stratified analyses MAFLD potentiated age-related eGFR decline vs. non-MAFLD (P < 0.001). Conclusions: More than half of subjects with prediabetes, visceral obesity and eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min presented MAFLD that was associated with hyperfiltration and potentiated the age-related eGFR decline.enghttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/research articleAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacional3723029620111072910.1016/j.diabres.2023.1107291872-8227Diabetes research and clinical practiceopen access2-s2.0-851602663401013316700001L2024693682
