The European Society Cardiology (ESC) guidelines, he European Renal Association (ERA) Council and the Spanish Society of Nephrology (S.E.N.) in collaboration with 15 Scientific Societies recommend assessing albuminuria in all these populations.We have evaluated current clinical practice regarding the assessment of CVD risk factors (blood pressure, albuminuria, serum cholesterol, glycemia and creatinine) in different adult health user populations, analyzing the results separately for men and women, given recent evidence on gender differences in the recognition, monitoring, and management of CKD. …”
