BACKGROUND AND AIMS: High glomerular filtration rate (HGFR) is associated with cardiovascular damage in the setting of various conditions such as obesity and diabetes. Prediabetes was also associated with increased GFR, however, the association between prediabetes, HGFR and cardiovascular damage has not been investigated. In this study, we investigated the association between HGFR and early markers of cardiovascular disease in subjects with prediabetes. METHODS AND RESULTS: Augmentation pressure (Aug), augmentation index (AIx), subendocardial viability ratio (SEVR), pulse wave velocity (PWV), intima-media thickness (IMT) and estimated GFR (eGFR) were evaluated in 230 subjects with prediabetes...
