DOIAbstract
Aims. Within the normoalbuminuric range, low albuminuria (LA, 10-29 mg/24h) is associated with higher adverse cardiovascular and renal outcomes than normal albuminuria (NA, <10 mg/24h). This cross-sectional analysis of the cohort from the Renal Insufficiency And Cardiovascular Events (RIACE) Italian Multicentre Sudy was aimed at assessing the independent correlates of LA versus NA in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods. This analysis involved 11,538 normoalbuminuric patients (73.2% of the entire RIACE cohort), 6,023 (52.2%) with NA and 5,515 (47.8%) with LA. Binary logistic regression analysis with backward conditional variable selection was applied to assess the independent correlates of LA versus NA Results. Compared with NA subjec...
