Lack of association between Triglyceride glucose-body mass index and glomerular filtration rate in patients with coronary heart disease after percutaneous coronary intervention: a retrospective case-control study

Background: There exists a close and complex bidirectional relationship between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). CVD is a well-established risk factor for CKD, while the Triglyceride glucose-body mass index (TyG-BMI) has been considered as a predictor of cardiovascular events. This was a retrospective case-control study. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between preoperative TyG-BMI and estimated glomerular filtration rate(eGFR) during follow-up in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods: This study was performed in 1020 patients with CHD after PCI without CKD from 01/01/2015 to 01/01/2025. We performed multifaceted analyses of the association between preoperative TyG-BMI and eGFR, including multiple linear regression for continuous eGFR outcomes, logistic regression to identify whether TyG-BMI independently influenced categorical eGFR status and quantify the magnitude of this association, and restricted cubic spline (RCS) analysis to explore non-linear relationships. Low eGFR ( 0.05). Conclusion: Preoperative TyG-BMI exerted no direct independent effect on long-term outcome of eGFR. It is unlikely that TyG-BMI serves as a primary determinant of CKD in patients with CHD after PCI. Future studies should evaluate combined risk models.
