The prognosis of subjects showing a reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate without albuminuria in Japanese patients with type 2 diabetes: a cohort study for diabetic kidney disease

ConclusionsThe risk of end-stage kidney disease in non-albuminuric subjects with a reduced eGFR is considered to be low. We should focus on cardiovascular prognosis, because these patients are still at high risk of cardiovascular events, even though the prognosis is better in comparison to albuminuric patients.
