From: The renal tubular damage marker urinary N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase may be more closely associated with early detection of atherosclerosis than the glomerular damage marker albuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes

a Mean carotid IMT difference between high and low levels of urinary NAG or urinary ACR. b Maximum carotid IMT difference between high and low levels of urinary NAG or urinary ACR. c Mean of maximum carotid IMT difference between high and low levels of urinary NAG or urinary ACR (N = 343). IMT intima-media thickness, NAG N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase, ACR albumin-to-creatinine ratio. Each bar represents the median. Significance was tested using Mann-Whitney U tests. Urinary NAG: low group, ≤7.21 U/g creatininea; high group, >7.21 U/g creatinine. Urinary ACR: low group, <30 mg/g creatinine; high group, ≥30 mg/g creatinine. aMedian value of urinary NAG
