Glucometabolic characteristics and higher vascular complication risk in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes with non-albumin proteinuria

We investigated the clinical relevance of non-albumin proteinuria (NAP) in Korean patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). We enrolled 883 T2D patients who had both their urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) and protein-to-creatinine ratio (uPCR) measured. We classified the patients into non-proteinuria (NP; uPCR <150 mg/g and uACR <30 mg/g), isolated NAP (iNAP; uPCR ≥150 mg/g and uACR <30 mg/g), and albuminuria (uACR ≥30 mg/g) groups. The...
