Longitudinal albuminuria patterns predict coronary artery calcification progression: Findings from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults study

Albuminuria is an established risk factor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes. However, few studies have characterized longitudinal albuminuria patterns based on long-term measurement of urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) levels. We aimed to evaluate the association between longitudinal albuminuria patterns in midlife adults and subsequent CAC progression.
