Following medical guidelines, both UACR and eGFR are critical for taking timely action against renal damage and CV risk1,2
ADA guidelines established a treatment target for UACR which recommends that UACR should be reduced by at least 30% in patients with CKD and T2D and a UACR level above 300mg/g1-3
Patients with T2D who have albuminuria may be suitable for additional treatment, even if their eGFR is preserved, to protect against deadly CV events and limit further kidney damage1-3

When leveraged together, increasing levels of albuminuria and reduced rates of eGFR indicate clinical manifestations of kidney damage and increased CV risk2
ADA=American Diabetes Association; CKD=chronic kidney disease; CV=cardiovascular; eGFR=estimated glomerular filtration rate; GFR=glomerular filtration rate; KDIGO=Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes; T2D=type 2 diabetes; UACR=urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
