Estimated glomerular filtration rate slope

1. Fatty liver index is associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate slope in humans.

   “Higher FLI categories were associated with progressively steeper eGFR decline.”

1. Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease is associated with estimated glomerular filtration rate slope in humans (β −0.29, 95% CI −0.39 to −0.18).

   “MAFLD was independently associated with accelerated eGFR decline (β: −0.29; 95% CI:−0.39 to − 0.18; P < 0.001).”
