My mother in law’s coffee filter featured at the Committee on Health of the #Bundestag.
When your coffe filter rips you have grinds in the cup - if your kidney filter breaks you have albumin in the urine. The #UACR is easy to do, cost effective and helps to diagnose #CKD (chronic kidney disease).
Measurement error in nephrology /2:
- glucose (both serum and urine) affects serum creatinine and urinary creatinine levels
- consequences affect #CKD staging by #eGFR and #uACR

New review! The urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio can direct personalized #prevention and treatment for #cardiovascular and chronic kidney disease.
➡️ Increased urinary albumin excretion is a strong predictor for cardiovascular events.

#CKD #CVD #UACR
FINE-ONE was just presented at @asnkidney.bsky.social at #KidneyWk. #Finerenone significantly reduced #UACR by 25% at 6 months in patients with #T1D & #CKD - an understudied population with high unmet need.
Relación albúmina-creatinina en orina se asocia más fuertemente con el fallo renal que la relación proteína-creatinina en orina particularmente con valores elevados de la relación #UACR #UPCR #kidneyfailure www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/...
Revisiting the package gave the chance to discover some old little pearls of the #nephrology literature
A milestone paper on urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio #UACR based on spot urine:
