Plasma proneurotensin/neuromedin N (pro-NT/NMN) is a precursor of neurotensin, a tridecapeptide linked with type 2 diabetes mellitus and other comorbid conditions associated with kidney disease. Whether pro-NT/NMN is directly associated with incident chronic kidney disease (CKD), and whether that association differs by race, is uncertain. We evaluated whether pro-NT/NMN levels were associated with increased risk of kidney outcomes.
