Correct classification to KDIGO albuminuria stages A2/A3 with the Combur9-Test((R)) was 15.4%, 51 [...] 51.4%, and 87.9% at cut-offs of 30, 100, and > /=300 mg/dL, and with the Micral-Test((R)) it was 1.8%, 10.5%, and 53.6% at cut-offs of 2, 5, and 10 mg/dL, respectively. Overall, disagreement to KDIGO a
