It is important to establishthe association between insulin resistance and renal function; however, the reported associations differ across studies. Different underlying pathophysiologies of the studied populations may affect the associations. There have been no reports on the relationship between insulin resistance and renal function in the presence of hypertension (HT). We investigated the correlation between a homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) and the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) in subjects with and without HT.
