Toshiharu Ninomiya and colleagues have found that urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) predict cardiovascular and renal risk in individuals ...

Albuminuria is defined as UACR ≥30 mg/g. Diuretics ... Conversely, patients with increasing albumin levels, declining GFR, increasing blood pressure, retinopathy, macrovascular disease, elevated ...

At baseline, patients had an estimated glomerular filtration rate of 25 to 60 mL/min/1.73 m 2 and a urinary albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) of 30-3000 mg/g. Patients were already taking maximum ...
