Prognostic value of the estimated glomerular filtration rate decline in hypertensive patients without chronic kidney disease.

CONCLUSIONS: A rate of eGFR decline equal to or higher than -10% per year is a marker of CV risk for patients with arterial hypertension without chronic kidney disease at baseline. It may be useful to consider intensifying the global risk approach for these patients. PMID: 30794282 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
