Implementation of KDIGO CKD Screening and Its Prognostic Implications in Community-Dwelling Adults Aged 75 Years or Older: A Population-Based Cohort Study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study followed over 10,000 adults aged 75 or older and found that those with both low kidney filtering rate (eGFR) and protein in the urine had a much higher risk of dying within five years. The study shows a link between these two tests and death risk, but it does not prove that one causes the other.
