Estimating the glomerular filtration rate and tubular dysfunction in an elderly population with normoalbuminuria in China.

CONCLUSIONS: Albuminuria may have limited utility as a screening marker of renal injury, as a considerable proportion of the elderly population have renal impairment despite normoalbuminuria. Rather than focusing solely on patients with diabetes or hypertension, normoalbuminuric renal impairment should be given more attention within the overall elderly population.
