Proteinuria may help predict outcomes in chronic kidney disease
Proteinuria may help predict outcomes in chronic kidney disease independent of estimated glomerular filtration rate level, according to the results of a community-based cohort study reported in the February 3 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Markers of kidney dysfunction such as proteinuria or albuminuria have been reported to be associated with coronary heart disease, but the consistency and strength of any such relationship has not been clearly defined.
