The retinopathy-derived glycated hemoglobin threshold of 6.5% for type 2 diabetes also captures the risk of diabetic nephropathy in NHANES - PubMed

A clinically useful diagnostic threshold below 6.5% for HbA1c for elevated UACR risk was not identified, with increased risk only obvious at HbA1c ≥ 7.0%. Thus, the retinopathy-derived HbA1c threshold of 6.5% also captures the risk of diabetic nephropathy in NHANES. This article is protected by copy ...
