Abstract

BACKGROUND: A low estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and an increased urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) are well-recognised prognostic markers of cardiovascular (CV) risk, but their individual and combined relationship with CV disease and total mortality among insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients in routine clinical care is unclear.
