title: Prediabetes is not independently associated with microalbuminuria in Korean general population: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011-2012 (KNHANES V-2,3).
abstract: We investigated the association between microalbuminuria and prediabetes in Korean population using data from the KNHANES 2011-2012. Prevalence of microalbuminuria was significantly increased in prediabetes group. However, the odds ratio became insignificant after adjustment for blood pressure, and the prevalence of microalbuminuria was not increased in prediabetic subjects without hypertension.
