Results During a mean follow-up of 10.2 years, 287 individuals developed ESRD. Incidence
of ESRD among individuals with macroalbuminuria (ACR≥ 300 mg/g) was 9.3 times that of
those with normoalbuminuria (ACR< 30 mg/g), controlled for age, gender, and duration of
diabetes. Incidence among individuals with eGFR 15 to 29 ml/min per 1.73 m 2 was 81.9
times that of those with eGFR 90 to 119 ml/min per 1.73 m 2. Models that combined
albuminuria and eGFR added significant predictive information about risk of ESRD or death …
