Zornitzki L, Sadon S, Wenkert A, et al. - Given mortality and adverse cardiovascular events in chronic kidney disease are predicted by estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR), researchers herein assessed how long-term mortality could be impacted by normal range or mildly reduced eGFR in a large prospective registry. Participants were consecutive patients receiving clinically-driven coronary angiography who had an eGFR ≥ 60 ml/min/1.73 m ² . Declining eGFR within the normal and mildly reduced range was shown to be inversely related to long-term all-cause mortality, with a hazard ratio of 1.32 for every reduction of 10 ml/min/1.73 ² in eGFR, as revealed in a multivariable model adjusted for likely confounding factors. In selected patients receiving clinically driven coronary angiography, the long-term all-cause mortality was shown to be independently predicted by eGFR within the normal and mildly reduced range.
