Kidney function and risk of heart failure in older adults: findings from a prospective cohort study
In this large cohort of older adults, albuminuria was associated with increased risk of HF outcomes, supporting its role in HF risk assessment. Low eGFR was also linked to higher risk of HHF, HF death and the HF composite outcome. Associations with high eGFR were not conclusive and should be considered hypothesis-generating.
