Lower eGFR and severe albuminuria may be linked with higher rates of adverse kidney and cardiovascular outcomes, including death, according to a recently published study.
The comprehensive meta-analysis, which included data from more than 27 million people from 114 global cohorts, examined the association between chronic kidney disease markers, such as eGFR, albuminuria and various health outcomes.
