Note: Model adjusted for visit month (time).

*

With normal albumin as reference. Normal = <30 mg/g creatinine; micro-albuminuria = 30–300 mg/g creatinine; macro-albuminuria = >300 mg/g creatinine.

Anti-hypertension therapeutic intensity score: calculated as daily dose/maximum FDA approved dose, summed across medication class.

Abbreviations: SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure.
