Single UAE measurement may accurately stage albuminuria in T2D; leaves open whether it can replace serial assessments in practice.
Does a single urinary albumin excretion measurement accurately predict nephropathy stage compared to multiple measurements in type 2 diabetic subjects?
A single urinary albumin excretion measurement is an accurate predictor of nephropathy stage in type 2 diabetic subjects, suggesting multiple assessments may not be strictly necessary for clinical and epidemiological purposes.
