Association of overhydration and serum pigment epithelium-derived factor with CKD progression in diabetic kidney disease: A prospective cohort study

Little is known about whether overhydration (OH), measured using bioimpedance assay (BIA), is associated with CKD progression in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We hypothesised that OH was a predictor, and pigment epithelium-derived factor (PEDF) was a modifiable risk factor of CKD progression.
