ALB and chronic kidney disease: We aimed to address this deficiency by performing analyses using outcomes based on a categorical definition of CKD used in previously published MR studies (ie, long-term kidney replacement therapy, eGFR<60 mL (mL/min/1.73m2), or urinary albumin:creatinine ratio [uACR] ≥3 mg/mmol),22 and secondarily, using separate clinical categories of eGFR and albuminuria, with an eGFR ≥120 mL (mL/min/1.73m2) considered evidence of glomerular hyperfiltration.
