Figure 1. High urine lactate associated with diabetic kidney disease (DKD) among the HUNT3 cohort.

(A) Lactate levels are significantly different between patients with DKD (eGFR < 60, n = 39) with age- and sex-matched healthy controls (n = 53) from the HUNT3 study, assessed using 2-tailed Welch’s t test. (B) Plasma lactate is correlated with plasma glucose in patients with DKD. Pearson’s correlation coefficient was used for correlation analysis. Data represent mean ± SD.
