Why the study?
Do macroalbuminuria and microalbuminuria predict renal and cardiovascular events with similar strength?
Do macroalbuminuria and microalbuminuria predict renal and cardiovascular events with similar strength?
Highlights the importance of routine screening for albuminuria to prevent both renal and cardiovascular endpoints, as both micro- and macroalbuminuria predict adverse outcomes in both domains.
