Chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease:
- Chronic kidney disease is a more important risk factor for cardiovascular disease than diabetes
- Both reduced eGFR and significant albuminuria are independent risk factors for cardiovascular disease
- Recent studies have confirmed that even early chronic kidney disease constitutes a significant risk factor for cardiovascular events and death
- For people with chronic kidney disease, the risk of dying from cardiovascular events is up to 20 times greater than the risk of requiring dialysis or transplantation
