Background. In Type 2 diabetic patients, clinical diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy (DN) is generally based on the concomitant presence of abnormal albuminuria and severe retinopathy. In this high-risk population, cardiovascular (CV) outcome has never been evaluated.Methods. A cohort of 742 Type 2 diabetic patients with DN from 17 national centres was selected by the presence of persistent albuminuria >= 30 mg/day and severe diabetic retinopathy and was followed prospectively. Time to CV event (CV death, non-fatal myocardial infarction, non-fatal stroke, revascularization, major amputation) was the primary composite end point and it was analysed by multivariable Cox's proportional hazards model. The interaction between albuminuria and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was specifically investigated.Results. Median follow-up was 4.6 years. Overall 242 events (26% of which fatal) were observed in 202 patients. The proportion of CV events increased from 19 to 40% as GFR declined from the highest (>= 90 mL/min/1.73m(2)) to the lowest (
