Urinary albumin excretion rate and glomerular filtration rate in the prediction of diabetic nephropathy; a long-term follow-up study of childhood onset type-1 diabetic patients.

• At a mean diabetes duration of 29 years the cumulative incidence of macroalbuminuria was 12%; however, another 20% had persistent microalbuminuria. A screening value of 24-h AER >15 mg/min was a strong predictor, whereas increased GFR was a weaker but significant predictor for micro and macroalbuminuria.
