Albuminuria is independently associated with a higher risk of death, cardiovascular events, heart failure, stroke, and progression of chronic kidney disease.
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.
