Canadian researchers say high levels of protein in urine may be linked to adverse clinical outcomes.
Concentrations below those considered elevated are still damaging, a study reports. The government is reducing lead levels in toys and the atmosphere, the CDC says.
Patients with high levels of proteinuria (protein in urine) in addition to another marker of reduced kidney function had an associated increased risk of all-cause death, heart attack or progression to kidney failure, according to a study in the February 3 issue of JAMA.As many as 26 million Americans have chronic kidney disease (CKD).
Patients with high levels of proteinuria (protein in urine) in addition to another marker of reduced kidney function had an associated increased risk of all-cause death, heart attack or progression to kidney failure, according to a study in the February 3 issue of JAMA.
JAMA. 2010;303(5):391. The current staging system for chronic kidney disease is based primarily on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), and patients with lower eGFR are at higher risk of adverse clinical outcomes.
Context The current staging system for chronic kidney disease is based primarily on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) with lower eGFR associated with higher risk of adverse outcomes. Although proteinuria is also associated with adverse outcomes, it is not used to refine risk estimates of adverse events in this current system. Objective To determine the association between reduced GFR ...
