Urinary albumin to creatinine ratio within normal range and all-cause or cardiovascular mortality among U.S. adults 1999-2015.

CONCLUSIONS: Elevated UACR within normal range was associated with higher all-cause and cardiovascular mortality risk across almost all subgroups including participants without comorbidities. Our findings suggest the importance of the early detection of albuminuria and careful evaluation of UACR even within normal range to reduce mortality risk.
