Hypertriglyceridaemic waist phenotype for Chronic Kidney Disease population: NEFRONA cohort.
CONCLUSIONS: Adapting the HTW definition might improve specificity to assess cardiovascular risk in the population with CKD. It identifies an additional CVR in a population in which other screening methods have not proven to be useful, and it is easily clinically accessible. Its interaction with phosphorus levels suggests an association between HTW and bone-mineral metabolism regulation.
