Key Points

  • The research aims to explore the link between KIM-1 levels and renal lipotoxicity in obese adults with kidney function.
  • Comparison of serum KIM-1 levels between obese and non-obese groups.
  • Assessment of serum free fatty acid levels in both groups.
  • Analysis of the relationship between KIM-1 levels and waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio.
  • Serum KIM-1 levels were lower in obese subjects compared to non-obese controls.
  • No significant difference in serum free fatty acid levels was found between the two groups.
  • An inverse relationship was observed between serum KIM-1 and waist circumference and waist-to-hip ratio in the obese group.

Abstract

Serum KIM-1 levels were lower in the obese subjects than in the non-obese controls, even though there was no difference in serum FFA levels among the two groups. The obese group showed an inverse relationship of serum KIM-1 with WC and WHR, respectively.
