Insulin resistance, or prediabetes, in individuals with kidney disease may be caused by the progressive retention of certain compounds that are normally excreted by the kidneys in healthy individuals, according to a new study. The findings might be used to prevent insulin resistance in kidney disease patients, which could lower their risk of developing heart problems.
