The correlation of insulin resistance and renal function in non diabetic chronic kidney disease patients.

impedance analysis was performed to determine the percentage of total body fat. GFR was calculated by the average of creatinine and urea clearances. Results: The correlation analysis showed that HOMA-IR was positively correlated with percent body fat (r = 0.32, P<0.05), BMI (r = 0.46, P<0.01), serum triglyceride (TG) (r =0.29, P<0.01), and mean arterial pressure (r =0.25, P<0.05), but not significantly correlated with GFR, age, cholesterol, HDL, uric acid and 24-hr urinary protein. Conclusion: In non-diabetic CKD patients, the independent factor for insulin resistance was the amount of total body fat. The insulin level and HOMA-IR were not dependent on the GFR in the present study.
