Key result
Albuminuria is independently associated with a higher risk of death, cardiovascular events, heart failure, stroke, and progression of chronic kidney disease.
Albuminuria serves as an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and death, warranting appropriate testing and management.

Albuminuria screening may refine risk stratification in CKD and CVD; confirms associations but leaves optimal thresholds open.
Albuminuria is common. Traditionally considered a precursor to diabetic nephropathy, it has now been directly linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes and death, independent of other risk factors. In this review, we compare the measures of albuminuria, examine the evidence linking it to renal failure, cardiovascular disease, and death, and provide recommendations for its testing and management.

Stephen et al. (2014) conducted a review in Albuminuria. Albuminuria was evaluated. Albuminuria is independently associated with a higher risk of death, cardiovascular events, heart failure, stroke, and progression of chronic kidney disease.
