BMI: body mass index; eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate; ACR: albumin-to-creatinine ratio; IQR: interquartile range; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; HbA1c: hemoglobin A1c; ASCVD: atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease; HFrEF: heart failure with reduced ejection fraction; HFpEF: heart failure with preserved ejection fraction. Here, ALB is linked to heart failure.
