The Association Between the Decline of eGFR and a Reduction of Hemoglobin A1c in Type 2 Diabetic Patients
Objective This study aimed to explore the relationship between short-term (≤12 months) changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hemoglobin A 1c (HbA 1c ) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).

| Summary: | Objective
This study aimed to explore the relationship between short-term (≤12 months) changes in the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and hemoglobin A
1c
(HbA
1c
) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
Method
A total of 2,599 patients with T2D were enrolled if they were registered in the Diabetes Sharecare Information System, were aged 18–75 years, and had 2–3 HbA
1c
and eGFR measurements within the preceding 12 months. The studied patients were categorized into five groups based on eGFR, i.e., the relatively stable (RS), fast decline (FD), modest decline (MD), modest increase (MI), and fast increase (FI) groups.
Results
The median eGFR changes from baseline were −22.14, −6.44, 0.00, 6.32, and 20.00 ml/min per 1.73 m
2
for patients in the FD, MD, RS, MI, and FI groups, respectively. Up to 1,153 (44.4%) subjects experienced an eGFR decline of ≥3.5 ml/min per 1.73 m
2
, including 821 (31.6%) FD subjects and 332 (12.8%) MD subjects. A decreased trend was found between the eGFR change and HbA
1c
decrease category, even after multivariable adjustment. In general, an eGFR FD was frequently found in patients who had an HbA
1c
reduction of ≥3.00% and a baseline HbA
1c
≥8.0%; alternatively, such a result was also observed for a urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30.0–300.0 mg/g, regardless of a diabetes duration of |
