Urinary Sodium Concentration Is an Independent Predictor of All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in a Type 2 Diabetes Cohort Population

Figure 2

Cumulative risk of cardiovascular death according to urinary solute tertiles. (a) Kaplan-Meier survival curves are displayed according to tertiles of urinary sodium concentration () at baseline. Patient grouping: solid line indicates high tertile patients; dashed line indicates intermediate tertile patients; grey line indicates low tertile patients. P value Log-rank test < 0.001. (b) Kaplan-Meier survival curves are displayed according tertiles of urinary potassium concentrations () at baseline. Patient grouping: solid line indicates high tertile patients; dashed line indicates intermediate tertile patients; dotted line indicates low tertile patients. value Log-rank test < 0.001. (c) Kaplan-Meier survival curves are displayed according to tertiles of urine to plasma creatinine concentration ratio (U : ) at baseline. Patient grouping: solid line indicates high U :  tertile patients; dashed line indicates intermediate U :  tertile patients; dotted line indicates low U :  tertile patients. value Log-rank test < 0.001.
