Association between urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio and all-cause and cardiovascular-cause mortality among MASLD: NHANES 2001–2018 by Zhengjin Wang, Zhangxin Chen, Zhangxin Chen, Hanxu Zhuang

“…Kaplan-Meier (KM) survival curves were used to evaluate survival rates across UACR groups.ResultsThe study found that higher UACR levels, even within the normal range, were independently associated with increased risks of both all-cause and CVD-cause mortality. Each 1 mg/g increase in UACR was associated with a 4% higher risk of all-cause mortality (HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.03–1.05) and a 5% higher risk of cardiovascular mortality (HR 1.05, 95% CI 1.02–1.08). …”
