Re: “The burden of chronic kidney disease in Australian patients with type 2 diabetes (the NEFRON study)”, by Merlin C Thomas, Andrew J Weekes, Olivia J Broadley, Mark E Cooper and Tim H Mathew, in the 7 August issue of the Journal (Med J Aust 2006; 185: 140-144). In the statement defining microalbuminuria, macroalbuminuria and normoalbuminuria on page 141, the sexes were transposed. The correct statement is:
Albuminuria was stratified according to International Diabetes Federation guidelines12,13 as follows:
Microalbuminuria — urinary albumin–creatinine ratio (ACR) of 3.5–35 mg/mmol (women) or 2.5–25 mg/mmol (men).
Macroalbuminuria — urinary ACR > 35 mg/mmol (women) or > 25 mg/mmol (men).
Normoalbuminuria — urinary ACR < 3.5 mg/mmol (women) or < 2.5 mg/mmol (men).
