We thank Dr. Dyer for his very thoughtful invited commentary (1
) on the report we wrote on which measure of urinary albumin excretion to use (2
). His reaction contains valuable methodological information, among others, that the within-person coefficient of variation in urinary albumin measures should probably be better calculated after log-transformation. Being involved ourselves in a large-scale epidemiologic study designed to assess the impact of albuminuria in predicting renal and cardiovascular disease progression (www.PREVEND.org), we would like to emphasize that we share with Dr. Dyer a common interest, that being improvement in knowledge on
