High-normal albuminuria is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in male population with estimated glomerular filtration rate [greater than or equal to]60 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2: A cross-sectional study

Low-grade albuminuria has been considered a predictor of cardiovascular mortality. We investigated the relationship between high-normal albuminuria and subclinical atherosclerosis in non-diabetic men with estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) [greater than or equal to]60 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2. In this cross-sectional study, 1,756 men with eGFR [greater than or equal to]60 mL/min/1.73 m.sup.2 and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR)
