Background. Previous clinical studies have shown that various measures of glucose metabolism are associated with a risk of chronic kidney disease in different populations, but results were not consistent. In this study we assessed measures of glucose metabolism and their association with kidney function in a population-based study. Methods. The Netherlands Epidemiology of Obesity study is a population-based cohort study of middle-aged men and women. We categorized the study population according to glycaemic levels into normoglycaemia (reference group), prediabetes mellitus (pre-DM), known DM and newly diagnosed DM. Outcome variables were serum creatinine, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), glomerular hyperfiltration (defined as an eGFR >90th percentile; >102mL/min/1.73[m.sup.2]) and micro-albuminuria. We examined the association between measures of glucose metabolism [fasting glucose, haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fasting insulin, glucose area under the curve (AUC), insulin AUC, Homoeostatic Model Assessment of Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), HOMA of [beta]-cell function (HOMA-B) and disposition index] and measures of kidney function. Results. Of the total population (N = 6338), 55% of participants were classified as normoglycaemic (reference), 35% as pre-DM, 7% as DM and 4% as newly diagnosed DM. Compared with the reference group, diagnosed and newly diagnosed DMs were associated with a slightly higher trend in eGFR {+2.1mL/min/1.73[m.sup.2] [95% confidence interval (CI) -0.2-4.4] and +2.7 mL/min/1.73[m.sup.2] [95% CI -0.3-5.7], respectively}. A 1% higher HbA1c was associated with increased odds of hyperfiltration [odds ratio (OR) 1.41 (95% CI 1.06-1.88)]. Higher levels of fasting plasma glucose, AUC glucose and HOMA-B were associated with hyperfiltration. Fasting insulin, AUC insulin and HOMA-IR were not associated with hyperfiltration. The OR of microalbuminuria was 1.21 (95% CI 1.04-1.42) per mmol/L higher fasting glucose concentrations. Conclusions. Both fasting and post-prandial glucose and HOMA-B, but not measures of insulin resistance, were associated with glomerular hyperfiltration, while fasting glucose was also associated with microalbuminuria.

INTRODUCTION The global increase in obesity is a leading cause of the increased prevalence of pre-diabetes mellitus (DM) and type 2DM. A total of 40% of the patients with obesity [...]
