Fig. 1: Renal staging at diagnosis using either uACR or 24hUP as the measure for proteinuria.

The risk of progression to end stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis is estimated with the renal staging at diagnosis. Renal stages were applied using either A 24hUP > 5000 mg, or B uACR > 3600 mg/g as the measure of proteinuria. Stage 1 is indicated in red, stage 2 in green, stage 3 in blue.
