Description
Miłosz Miedziaszczyk and coauthors published a 2026 study of the triglyceride-glucose index as a prognostic marker in peritoneal dialysis patients. Heart disease kills more of these patients than any other cause, and insulin resistance feeds that risk. The index, computed from routine fasting labs, served as the exposure in two cohorts: 278 patients new to dialysis and 178 already established on it.
Average index values ran higher in the established cohort. Among new patients, two-year survival fell step by step across index quartiles, from about 84 percent in the lowest to about 74 percent in the highest. After adjustment for other factors, the index lost independent predictive power for survival. The authors report a marker that stratifies risk crudely but adds little beyond standard variables.
