Highlights In normoalbuminuric diabetic patients at low cardiovascular risk, the risk of transition from normo- to microalbuminuria is lower in women, despite the nonprotective effects of the angiotensin receptor blocker olmesartan. Additional methods of assessment of albuminuria in clinical studies (eg, measurements of albumin and creatinine excretion rate) should be implemented or the actually accepted higher urine albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) cutoff values for microalbuminuria in women reconsidered.
