Figure 1 Prevalence of heavy proteinuria by distance to the closest nephrologist. The x-axis represents the travel distance categories (km) with the width of each bar representing the proportion of participants (%) in each distance category. The y-axis represents the distribution of the various categories of proteinuria (%) (none, heavy, high grade). The height of each colored segment within a bar represents the proportion of participants in that category of proteinuria. None=no proteinuria; heavy=heavy proteinuria (ACR≥60mg/mmol, PCR≥100mg/mmol, or protein ≥2+ on dipstick urinalysis); high grade=high-grade proteinuria (ACR≥180mg/mmol, PCR≥300mg/mmol, or protein ≥3+ dipstick on urinalysis). The left panel shows all participants (N=1,359,330). The right panel shows participants at high risk for proteinuric CKD (N=394,354).
