Macroalbuminuria as a marker of cardiac damage in patients with type 2 diabetes: insights from multimodality cardiac imaging and biomarkers

Key takeaways

Doctors checked if high protein in the urine links to heart damage. They studied 49 adults with diabetes and stage 3 kidney disease. The study found a connection between kidney protein and heart health. It is an observational study, so it shows a link, not proof of cause.
