Kidney function, albuminuria and life expectancy

Conclusion The presence and degree of albuminuria was associated with lower estimated life expectancy for both gender and was especially notable in those with eGFR ≥30 mL/min/1.73 m2. Life expectancy associated with a given level of eGFR differs substantially based on the presence and severity of albuminuria.
