Are there sex differences in cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in adults with and without CKD?
Women with CKD exhibit lower cardiovascular mortality risk compared to men, with kidney function markers uniquely influencing mortality risk in women.
Key Points Women with CKD had a lower cardiovascular disease mortality risk than men. Kidney function markers ( i.e. , eGFR and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio) may influence mortality risk in women with CKD, but not in men.
