Stocking should fall within the normal range.
Both scores, of course, fall within the normal range.
The risk of renal decline did not vary within the normal range of AER in NA but increased with increasing AER in the MA range.
The authors assumed a priori that abnormalities in AER would precede significant GFR loss and did not test the alternative possibility that so-called early progressive renal decline when GFR falls within the normal range, i.e., from 130 to 60 mL/min, might precede the development of macroalbuminuria.
A 20% decline in IgM is considered within the normal range.
However, it is still unclear whether serum ALT levels within the normal range decline with age, and if so, whether this decline is related to changes in body mass, central adiposity, or other plausible covariates.
To assess the relationship between albuminuria, including elevation within the normal range, and decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in diabetic patients.
However, recent studies showed that the higher levels of urinary albumin excretion within the normal range predict faster decline in GFR and higher incidence of cardiovascular disease in type 2 diabetic patients (36, 37).
Only one study showed a transient decline in serum HDL cholesterol; however, its value remained within the normal range (for a review see Harle et al 2005).
Similarly, the decline in first-phase insulin secretion begins with FPG concentrations well within the normal range (Fig. 1) (47, 47).
