  • Dependent factor: mid-regional portion of pro-adrenomedullin (MR-proADM).

  • BMI, body mass index; BP, blood pressure; eGFR, estimated glomerular filtration rate; HDL cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; NT-proBNP, N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide; UAE, urinary albumin excretion.
