The importance of sensitive screening for abnormal glucose metabolism in patients with IgA nephropathy.

CONCLUSIONS: Our study highlighted that abnormal glucose metabolism was common in IgAN patients. Triglyceride and 24-hour urine protein excretion were significant risk factors for abnormal glucose metabolism. Therefore, sensitive screening for glucose metabolism status and timely intervention should be carried out in clinical work.
