Jiang et al reported models for predicting diabetic nephropathy in a patient with type 2 diabetes. One of these is a nomogram and another is logistic regression model. The authors are from China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Peking Union Medical College, and Beijing University of Chinese Medicine in Beijing, China.
Patient selection: type 2 diabetes
Parameters:
(1) gender
(2) duration of diabetes in years
(3) diabetic retinopathy
(4) hematuria in RBCs per high power field in urinalysis
(5) anemia (hemoglobin < 130 g/L in males or < 120 g/L in females)
(6) hemoglobin A1c
(7) eGFR in mL per min per 1.73 square meter
(8) urine protein excretion in grams per 24 hours
(9) blood pressure
