Albuminuria, commonly measured as urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), is an under-recognized component of chronic kidney disease (CKD) definition, staging and prognosis.
Albuminuria, elevated serum creatinine and low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are key indicators of kidney decline. However, it is unclear if these biomarkers are independent predictors of kidney disease progression in people with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM).
ACR and eGFR as predictors of cardio-renal outcomes in diabetes and kidney disease
Diabetic kidney disease, and chronic kidney disease attributed to diabetes, occurs in 20-40% of patients with diabetes. Acute kidney injury is also one of the most significant complications associated with COVID-19. Point-of-care testing for albumin-creatinine ratio is a valuable tool for monitoring at-risk patients, especially in combination with other comorbid parameters, such as HbA1c and lipids.
