Lack of association between Triglyceride glucose-body mass index and glomerular filtration rate in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective case-control study.

Key takeaways

In 1,240 people with heart disease who had stents placed, researchers checked if a number called TyG-BMI (which combines triglycerides, blood sugar, and weight) predicted future kidney decline. They found no clear link — meaning this particular measure did not help predict how fast kidneys would worsen. Because it is an observational study, it shows a possible connection but cannot prove cause and effect.
