Changes in urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio and health care resource utilization and costs in patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease
Among patients with CKD and T2D who had albuminuria, an increase in UACR over time was associated with significantly higher HRU and costs compared with patients with stable or decreased UACR. Managed care organizations and other health care decision-makers should consider strategies that enhance monitoring and management of UACR in patients with CKD and T2D to potentially reduce HRU and associated costs.
