Combined changes in albuminuria and kidney function and subsequent risk for kidney failure in type 2 diabetes

Introduction Changes in albuminuria or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) can be used as a surrogate endpoint of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in people with type 2 diabetes. We investigated whether the combined changes in albuminuria and eGFR are more strongly associated with future risk of ESKD. Research design and methods Using data from a multicenter observational cohort study of people with type 2 diabetes, we evaluated the...
