- Title
Albuminuria in non-primary renal disease: risk marker rather than risk factor.
- Authors
de Jong, Paul E.; Gansevoort, Ron T.
- Abstract
The author reflects on a research study on the impact of albuminuria on the progressive decline of renal function in non-diabetic renal disease. The research shows the impact of albuminuria on progressive loss of renal function in patients with diabetic and non-diabetic chronic kidney disease (CKD). The author says that it is not unexpected that the documentation of early damage will better predict the progressive nature of end organ damage than the risk factor that caused the early damage.
