Ishigami J, Trevisan M, Lund L, et al. - Since there exist scarce epidemiological evidence supporting cardiovascular disease as a risk factor for progression of chronic kidney disease, therefore, experts assessed the slopes of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) reduction in the 2 years prior to vs following an incident hospitalization with heart failure (HF) (n = 20,420), coronary heart disease (CHD) (n = 18,152), or stroke (n = 1,808). They utilized data from a complete laboratory data collection in Stockholm, Sweden from 2006 to 2011. As per findings, a significant link was evident between incident hospitalization with cardiac diseases (ie, HF and CHD) and a subsequent acceleration of eGFR reduction.
