Diabetic kidney disease in the elderly: prevalence and clinical correlates

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a major burden in elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). Low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR+, < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2) and albuminuria (Alb+) are essential for the diagnosis of DKD, but their association with clinical variables and quality of care may be influenced by ageing. Here we investigated the association of clinical variables and quality of care measures with eGFR+ and Alb+ in 157,595 T2DM...
