Human studies have found that dietary ...

Proteinuria and Risk for Heart Failure in 55,191 Patients Having History of Cancer
We examined the association of proteinuria with the risk for heart failure (HF) and other cardiovascular disease (CVD) events in patients with prior history of breast, colorectal, or stomach cancer using a nationwide population-based database.METHODS: We conducted this retrospective observation study using the JMDC Claims Database and analyzed 55,191 patients with prior history of breast, colorectal, or stomach cancer. The median age was 54 (48-60) years, and 20,665 participants (37.4%) were men. Using urine dipstick data at baseline, 3,945 and 1,521 participants were categorized as having trace and positive proteinuria, r...
