Associations between eGFR and albuminuria with right ventricular measures: the MESA-Right Ventricle study

CONCLUSIONS: Among community-dwelling adults, reductions in eGFR primarily within the normal range were associated with smaller RV volumes and the association of albuminuria with worse survival was stronger among those with smaller RV volumes. Further studies are needed to elucidate the underlying mechanistic pathways that link kidney measures and RV morphology.PMID:37664568 | PMC:PMC10469092 | DOI:10.1093/ckj/sfad096
