HOMA-IR = HOmeostatic Model Assesment-Insulin Resistance, HOMA-IR = fasting insulin [mU/mL] × fasting glucose [mg/dL]/405.

QUICKI (Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index) = 1/log fasting insulin [µU/mL] × log fasting glucose [mg/dL].

TyG index = ln [fasting triglycerides (mg/dL) × fasting glucose (mg/dL)/2].

HBA1c = glycosylated hemoglobin, Type A1c; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; HOMA-IR Index = homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance index; KTx = kidney transplantation; N = number of patients; OR = odds ratio; QUICKI = quantitative insulin-sensitivity check index; TyG index = triglycerides and glucose index.
