Do changes in proteinuria status affect the risk of developing ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris in adults?
Any experience of proteinuria, even if it resolves, is associated with an increased risk of ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris.
Park et al. (2023) studied this question.
