Does an elevated urine albumin creatinine ratio increase cardiovascular mortality in patients with coronary artery disease with or without type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Elevated uACR serves as a prognostic marker for increased cardiovascular mortality in patients with CAD, particularly those with concurrent T2DM.
Even mildly increased uACR could increase the risk of cardiovascular mortality in patients with CAD, especially when combined with T2DM.
Lin et al. (Thu,) studied this question.
