Notes: ALB = albuminuria; AWMV = abnormal white matter volume; CVD = cardiovascular disease; eGFR = estimated glomerular filtration rate; GMV = gray matter volume; SBP = systolic blood pressure; TBV = total brain volume.

Least square means (SE). Values are in cubic centimeters. Several baseline eGFR measures were missing leading to slight differences in numbers from Table 2.

Model I: unadjusted.

Model II: adjusted for SBP.

Model III: adjusted for SBP, age, sex, and intracranial volume.

Model IV: adjusted for terms in Model III plus diabetes duration, prevalent CVD, and baseline eGFR.

*eGFR < 90 significantly (p < .05) different than the eGFR ≥ 90 group for the same level of ALB status.

Any ALB different from No ALB (p < .05) at the same level of eGFR category.

Interaction between presence of ALB and GFR ≥ 90 or < 90.
