Wcn26-6489 Excess Risk of Women Compared to Men Across the Spectrum of Chronic Kidney Disease Progression

Cardiovascular (CV) disease represents the leading cause of death among kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) with a functioning graft. Existing evidence indicates male sex as an independent predictor for CV events. To further examine sex difference in CV events, we assessed the excess CV risk, defined as risk relative to individuals with normal kidney function, in female and male KTRs, and compared them with those in populations with non-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) and on maintenance dialysis.
