Impact of metabolic and inflammatory changes on glomerular function beyond conventional risk factors in an urban South Africa community with prevalent obesity.

CONCLUSIONS: The impact on glomerular function of insulin resistance and inflammatory changes is well beyond modifiable conventional risk factors, including the metabolic syndrome. Targeting conventional risk factors alone is likely to result in a marked residual risk of renal damage produced by insulin resistance and inflammation.
