Key result
Chronic kidney disease, defined by reduced eGFR and albuminuria, is a strong, independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, and its measures improve the predictive accuracy of traditional risk models.
This review highlights that chronic kidney disease, characterized by reduced eGFR and albuminuria, is a strong and independent risk factor for cardiovascular events, emphasizing the need for integrated risk stratification.
