When participants with diabetes or prediabetes who were at risk for CKD were analyzed separately, frequency of ascertainment for albuminuria or proteinuria was 7% or less in all groups (eg, among 317 648 patients with diabetes and hypertension, albumin to creatine ratio measurements were available for 21 697 patients [6.8%]; among 187 499 patients with prediabetes and hypertension, protein to creatine ratio measurements were available in 907 [0.5%]) (eTable 4 in the Supplement). Here, ALB is linked to chronic kidney disease.
