Receiver operating characteristic curves for risk prediction models of new-onset microalbuminuria in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Blue line: Model 1 (age, sex, body mass index, duration of diabetes, smoking status, mean blood pressure, glycated hemoglobin, estimated glomerular filtration rate, low-density lipoprotein, time of follow-up, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio, cardiac complications); green line: Model 2 (C-X-C motif chemokine ligand 16, transforming growth factor-1, angiopoietin-2); red line: Model 3 (Model 1 + 2); area under the curve and 95% confidence interval are given in Table 4.
