Albuminuria as risk factor for initiation and progression of carotid atherosclerosis in non-diabetic persons: the Troms? Study

摘要

Aims High levels of microalbuminuria have been associated with severe atherosclerosis. In this prospective, population-based study, we examined whether urinary albumin-to-creatinine-ratios (ACR) in the lower range were associated with the initiation and progression of atherosclerosis.
