Objective To investigate the association between Hemoglobin Glycation Index (HGI) and Diabetic Kidney Disease (DKD) in Chinese type 2 diabetic individuals and to construct a risk score based on HGI to predict a person’s risk of DKD. Methods We retrospectively analyzed 1622 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). HGI was obtained by calculating the fasting plasma glucose (FPG) level into the formula, and they were grouped into low HGI group (L-HGI), medium HGI group (H-HGI) and high HGI group (H-HGI) according to tri-sectional quantile of HGI. The occurrence of DKD was analyzed in patients with different levels of HGI. Multivariate logistics regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of DKD in patients with T2DM. Results A total of 1622 patients with T2DM were enrolled in the study. Among them, 390 cases were DKD. The prevalence of DKD among the three groups was 16.6%, 24.2% and 31.3%. The difference was statistically significant (P = 0.000). There were significant differences in age (P=0.033), T2DM duration (P=0.005), systolic blood pressure (SBP) (P=0.003), glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) (P=0.000), FPG (P=0.032), 2-hour postprandial plasma glucose (2h-PPG) (P=0.000), fasting C-peptide FCP (P=0.000), 2-hour postprandial C-peptide (2h-CP) (P=0.000), total cholesterol (TC) (P=0.003), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) (P=0.000), serum creatinine (sCr) (P=0.001), estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (P=0.000) among the three groups. Mantel-Haenszel chi-square test showed that there was a linear relationship between HGI and DKD (x2=177.469, p < 0.001). Pearson correlation analysis showed that with the increase of HGI level the prevalence of DKD was increasing (R= 0.445, P=0.000). It was indicated by univariate logistic regression analysis that individuals in H-HGI was more likely to develop DKD (OR: 2.283, 95% CI: 1.708~ 3.052) when compared with L-HGI. Adjusted to multiple factors, this trend still remained significant (OR: 2.660, 95% CI: 1.935~ 3.657). The combined DKD risk score based on HGI resulted in an area under the receiver operator characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.702. Conclusions High HGI is associated with an increased risk of DKD. DKD risk score may be used as one of the risk predictors of DKD in type 2 diabetic population.
