*Cases were defined by incident persistent eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 with urinary AER >300 mg/24 hour; control subjects were randomly selected from the pool of DCCT/EDIC Study participants who maintained persistent eGFR >90 mL/min/1.73 m2 and AER <30 mg/24 hour through the study visit on which the corresponding case participant developed incident eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and were additionally matched to cases on duration of diabetes and DCCT cohort.
AER, albumin excretion rate; BP, blood pressure; DCCT/EDIC, Diabetes Control and Complications Trial/Epidemiology of Diabetes Interventions and Complications; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; HbA1c, hemoglobin A1c; LDL. low-density lipoprotein.
