PrevaLence of Albuminuria in Patients With CARdiovascular Disease and Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in China: a National Cross-sectional Study

Summary

The association between Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) and Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is well established. Traditional risk factors for CVD and CKD are similar, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) being the most prevalent risk factor. However, CKD is underdiagnosed and undertreated in patients with CVD. Further understanding of the combination of CKD in CVD patients is important to formulate prevention and treatment strategies for CVD patients and high-risk groups, reduce adverse events in CVD patients, and prevent progression of CKD to End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD).
