A cross‐lagged analysis of the relationship between quality of life and kidney function in CKD patients
Kidney function decline leads to worsening QoL, whereas deterioration in QoL does not impact eGFR decline. These findings support prioritising interventions that slow the progression of CKD as a means to preserve quality of life. This study highlights the utility of cross-lagged analysis in nephrology research and underscores the importance of early chronic kidney disease (CKD) management to maintain patient well-being.
