Characterization of patients with diabetic kidney disease nonalbuminuric phenotype. A single-center observational study

Introduction: The phenotypes with albuminuria and the nonalbuminuric phenotype in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) are known. The nonalbuminuric phenotype is defined with an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 associated with km il.;p.albuminuria- creatinuria ratio (ACR) less than 30 mg/gr. The objective of the present study was to describe the clinical characteristics of patients with DKD nonalbuminuric phenotype (nADKD). Methods: This is an observational, descriptive study of patients treated at an IPS in Cartagena, Colombia, from 2021 to 2022. Results: Of a total of 7698 patients with DKD criteria, 1714 patients (22.3%) had nA-DKD criteria, with a median age of 69 years (IQR 62-76), and women (75.73%). A total of 85% had hypertension, (22.3%) dyslipidemia, and the average BMI was in the overweight range. 9.5% had a history of smoking. Little presence of diabetic retinopathy was found. Conclusion: Nonalbuminuric phenotype diabetic kidney disease is not uncommon in our environment. In general, the characteristics of our patients are very similar to those reported in other series.
