Albuminuria, estimated glomerular filtration rate linked to acute kidney injury
Albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate are independently linked to acute kidney injury, according to the results of the population-based Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities study published online July 29 in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology.
Both glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria independently predict all-cause and cardiovascular mortality, according to the results of a large, global collaborative meta-analysis of general population cohorts reported online May 18 in The Lancet.
