  1. Estimated marginal means with 95% confidence intervals. P-values are for adjusted comparisons (ANCOVA) of controls to patients with short duration of normoalbuminuria or for comparison between patients with longstanding normoalbuminuria, microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria. Adjustments were made for gender, age, 24 h-MAP (except for 24 h-MAP), 24 h HR, eGFR and smoking. Adjustments also included HbA1c and antihypertensive treatment when comparing patients with normoalbuminuria and long diabetes duration, microalbuminuria and macroalbuminuria.
  2. CASP: central aortic systolic pressure, CPP: central pulse pressure, SBP: systolic blood pressure, MAP: mean arterial pressure, microalbuminuria: 30-299 mg/24 h, macroalbuminuria > 300 mg/24 h.
