Lead (Pb) exposure has been reported to have nephrotoxicity. However, such an effect has not been well investigated in type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients, especially when taking into account the nutrition status of the patients. Therefore, we explore the association between blood lead levels (BLLs), dietary intake of nutrients, and impaired renal function among patients with T2D. We measured BLLs and biochemical parameters of renal injury in 780 patients. Dietary nutrients intake was assessed by a food frequency questionnaire in 420 of 780 participants. We found high BLLs were significantly associated with certain parameters of renal injury, and dietary intake of specific nutrients (mainly micronutrients) was associated with reduced BLLs at high percentile distribution of concentration. BLLs were also found to have moderation effects on the association between specific dietary nutrients and specific renal function parameters.
