This study aims to explore the factors influencing the renal glucose threshold (RTG) in patients with newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).A cross-sectional study was conducted on 1009 hospitalized patients with T2DM using stratified random sampling. Blood glucose was monitored using a dynamic blood glucose monitor to obtain the mean blood glucose (MBG), which is used to calculate the RTG. The factors influencing the RTG were then analyzed.The mean RTG in patients with newly diagnosed T2DM was 203.58 ± 55.22 mg/dl. The correlation between the RTG and the various variables was analyzed, and the results demonstrated that the RTG was correlated with the patient's age (r = -0.14539, P = 0.0001); MBG (r = -0.35009, P = 0.0001); renal long neck (r = 0.16762, P = 0.0001); homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance (r = -0.38322, P = 0.0001); homeostatic model assessment for beta-cell function (r = -0.22770, P = 0.0001); and the levels of glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c; r = 0.98994, P = 0.0001), blood urea nitrogen (r = -0.11093, P = 0.0004), creatinine (r = -0.26414, P = 0.0001), uric acid (r = -0.20149, P = 0.0001), total cholesterol (r = 0.13192, P = 0.0001), low-density lipoprotein (r = 0.12466, P = 0.0001), thyroid-stimulating hormone (r = -0.06346, P = 0.0460), beta-2 microglobulin (r = -0.08884, P = 0.0056), and 24-hour urine glucose (r = 0.32115, P = 0.0001). Multiple linear stepwise regression analysis revealed that the HbA1c, 24-hour urine glucose, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), D-dimer, and body mass index (BMI) should be included in the final model, and HbA1c had the greatest impact on the RTG followed in descending order by the 24-hour urine glucose, eGFR, D-dimer, and BMI (P < 0.05).The RTG increases in most patients with newly diagnosed diabetes. The risk factors for the RTG are HbA1c, 24-hour urine glucose, eGFR, D-dimer, and BMI.
