ALB and chronic kidney disease: In order to evaluate the relationship of age with type of diabetes, CKD staging and albuminuria (both micro and macro albuminuria) subjects from the DIAMOND database with both type2 DM and type1 DM (n=8110) were divided into the following three age bands 18-58 years, 58-71 years and 71-107 years in order to see any change in urinary albumin excretion with aging.
