Screening
Only one group will be evaluated during the SALINE study. Everyone that meets the inclusion criteria of having a high risk for albuminuria is invited to participate. During participation, subjects are asked to collect one or more urine samples for albuminuria determination. If albuminuria is high (>= 3,0 mg/mmol) subjects are invited for a visit. During the visit non-invasive measurements (BMI, PoC HbA1c, eGFR, blood pressure and heart rate) are taken to determine the cardiovascular risk. Furthermore, medication use is reviewed.

Diagnostic Test: Albuminuria test
During participation, subjects are asked to collect one or more urine samples for albuminuria determination.
Other Name: PeeSpot Diagnostic Test: HbA1c test During the screening visit, HbA1c will be measured with a point-of-care test (Affinion HbA1c, Abbott).
Other Name: Affinion HbA1c Diagnostic Test: Creatinine test During the screening visit, creatinine will be measured with a point-of-care test (i-STAT Alinity handheld analyser, Abbott).
Other Name: i-STAT Alinity |
- The prevalence of elevated albuminuria [ Time Frame: 1-2 weeks after invitation ]defined as a confirmed urinary albumin creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 3.0 mg/mmol.
- The prevalence of unknown elevated albuminuria [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 weeks ]defined as elevated albuminuria not reported by the subject or previously recorded in electronic medical records of the subjects' general practice or pharmacy.
- Average costs per subject [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 weeks ]by screening for albuminuria via pharmacies versus general practitioners.
- the proportion of invited subjects that was identified as having hidden kidney disease [ Time Frame: through study completion, an average of 5 weeks ]by screening for albuminuria via pharmacies versus general practitioners.
