Observational analysis demonstrates reduced renal function with increased smoking in adults over twenty, indicating early cessation protects against chronic kidney disease.
Through the negative correlation between serum cotinine and the eGFR, we can conclude that as the smoking quantity increases, smoking leads to a decrease in renal function. The results of the subgroup analysis indicate that in young people, by advocating smoking cessation early, we can very effectively prevent kidney disease in this population and thus reduce the incidence of chronic kidney disease. Smoking should be included as an independent risk factor for chronic kidney disease.
