Dot plot showing glomerular basement membrane width and fractional mesangial volume lower in normoalbuminuric persons than those with moderate albuminuria and proteinuria

FIGURE 6.

Glomerular Basement Membrane and Fractional Mesangial Volume by Albuminuria in Persons With Type 1 Diabetes.

GBM width and Vv(Mes/glom) in 88 normoalbuminuric (NA), 17 moderately albuminuric (MA), and 19 proteinuric (P) persons with type 1 diabetes. Normoalbuminuria is defined as AER <20 µg/min, moderate albuminuria as AER 20–200 µg/min, and proteinuria as AER ≥200 µg/min on at least two of three measurements. The shaded bars represent mean ± 2 standard deviations in a group of 76 age-matched normal control subjects. AER, albumin excretion rate; GBM, glomerular basement membrane; Vv(Mes/glom), fractional mesangial volume.
