Despite standard of care, patients with CKD and T2D are at risk of CV events, ESRD, and dialysis
CKD is 2x more prevalent in patients with T2D vs those without
Life expectancies of patients with both T2D and CKD are up to 16 years shorter than those without
Patients with both T2D and CKD are ~3x more likely to die of CV-related causes than patients with T2D alone

Albuminuria is a sign of kidney damage and is associated with increased CV and renal risk
Albuminuria represents elevated levels of albumin, a protein, found in urine
- It is an early marker of kidney disease associated with elevated CV risk and worsening CKD
- Consistently increasing albuminuria can be an indicator for CKD progression
Detecting albuminuria early can help you better manage the health of your patients with CKD and T2D
Albuminuria can be tested in several ways:
UACR or SPOT URINE TEST
Measures both albumin and creatinine (a chemical by-product of normal muscle activity) in a one-time sample
URINE DIPSTICK TEST
Test strip turns a different color based on the amount of albumin in the sample
24-HOUR URINE SAMPLE
Lab evaluates total albumin amount based on 24-hour urine collection
