Key highlights
- Diabetic participants had higher mean red cell distribution width than non-diabetic participants (13.74% vs 13.48%, p<0.001).
- Microalbuminuria prevalence rose across RDW quartiles, reaching 26.8% in the highest quartile among diabetic participants.
- RDW was an independent predictor of microalbuminuria with strong predictive performance (AUC = 0.872).
- Optimal RDW cut-off of 15.695% provided high sensitivity (82.2%) and specificity (80.5%) for detecting microalbuminuria in diabetes.
