Aim Variability in HbA1c and blood pressure is associated with the risk of diabetic kidney disease ( DKD ). No evidence exists on the role of variability in lipids or serum uric acid ( UA ), or the interplay between the variability of different parameters, in renal outcomes. Methods Within the AMD Annals database, we identified patients with ≥5 measurements of HbA1c , systolic blood pressure ( SBP ) and diastolic blood pressure ( DBP ), total‐, high‐density lipoprotein ( HDL )‐ and low‐density lipoprotein ( LDL )‐cholesterol, triglycerides, and UA . Patients were followed‐up for up to 5 years. The impact of measures of variability on the risk of DKD was investigated by Cox regression analysis and recursive partitioning techniques. Results Four‐thousand, two‐hundred and thirty‐one patients were evaluated for development of albuminuria, and 7560 for decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate ( eGFR ; <60 mL /min/1.73 m 2 ). A significantly higher risk of developing albuminuria was associated with variability in HbA1c [upper quartile hazard ratio ( HR ) = 1.3; 95% confidence interval ( CI ) 1.1‐1.6]. Variability in SBP , DBP , HDL‐C , LDL‐C and UA predicted the decline in eGFR , the association with UA variability being particularly strong (upper quartile HR = 1.8; 95% CI 1.3‐2.4). The concomitance of high variability in HbA1c and HDL‐C conferred the highest risk of developing albuminuria ( HR = 1.47; 95% CI 1.17‐1.84), while a high variability in UA ( HR = 1.54; 95% CI 1.19‐1.99) or DBP ( HR = 1.47; 95% CI 1.11‐1.94) conferred the highest risk of decline in eGFR . Conclusion The variability of several parameters influences the development of DKD , having a different impact on albuminuria development and on the decline in GFR .
