Association of kidney function and proteinuria with lower-extremity dysfunction in older Korean adults: a cross-sectional study
A U-shaped relationship was identified between renal function and lower-extremity dysfunction, with both lower and elevated eGFR linked to increased risks of impairment, underscoring the need for regular assessment of lower-extremity function and appropriate interventions in patients with CKD, elevated eGFR, or proteinuria.
