Data presented as means except where otherwise indicated. DM, diabetes; HTN, hypertension.

aRefers to the successfully genotyped and analyzed sample with UACR or MA data, which may differ from the recruited sample described in Supplemental online Methods.

bMedian (interquartile range: 25th percentile, 75th percentile).

cRefers to studies that are nonoverlapping with CKDGen; the sample size of ARIC, CHS, and FHS in CARe was 7687, 2073, and 6208, respectively.
