The relationship between reduced renal function and cardiovascular disease
Author
Summary, in English
In conclusion, the relationship between creatinine based eGFR and CVD is dependent on presence of MA. Cystatin C is a better predictor of CVD than creatinine-based measures of eGFR but does not seem to be causally related to CVD. Genetic variation of NEDD4L may identify responders to antihypertensive therapy with β-blockers or diuretics.
