Estimated glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria as predictors of outcomes in patients with high cardiovascular risk: a cohort study.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: Glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria are risk factors for cardiovascular disease and markers of renal function. OBJECTIVE: To examine the contribution of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urinary albumin-creatinine ratio beyond that of traditional cardiovascular risk factors to classification of patient risk for cardiovascular and renal outcomes.
