Description
Rui Wu and Gaiqi Yao present a 2026 cross-sectional study linking routine blood count inflammation markers to thickened heart muscle in people with diabetic kidney disease. Their sample held 419 patients treated at Peking University Third Hospital between January 2020 and September 2025.
Heart scans split the group into 106 patients with thickening and the rest without. Higher neutrophil counts and a combined immune-inflammation index each tracked with thickening, as did uric acid and urea, while male sex and calcium pointed the other way. Adding the two blood markers to basic factors lifted prediction accuracy to an AUC of 0.816 in their model. Kidney stage did not change those links in the analysis.
