From: Relationship of urinary liver-type fatty acid-binding protein with cardiovascular risk factors in the Japanese population without chronic kidney disease: Sasayama study

  1. Non-CKD: normoalbuminuria and normal eGFR
  2. Median and interquartile range (25–75%)
  3. Hypertension: systolic blood pressure ≥ 140 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg and/or prescription of medication for hypertension. Diabetes mellitus: fasting blood glucose levels ≥126 mg/dL or non-fasting blood glucose levels ≥200 mg/dL and/or HbA1c ≥ 6.5% and/or prescription of medication for diabetes mellitus.
