In the macroalbuminuria subgroup, the OR was 3.940 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.553–9.993) for left ventricular hypertrophy and the OR in the microalbuminuria subgroup was 2.473 (95% CI 1.370–4.464) after adjusting for age, gender, albumin, HbA1c, hypertension, and the use of ACEI or ARB medication. Here, ALB is linked to left ventricular hypertrophy.
