Association of Educational Attainment With Incidence of CKD in Young Adults.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is greatly affected by social determinants of health. Whether low educational attainment is associated with incident CKD in young adults is unclear.

Methods: We evaluated the association of education with incident CKD in 3139 Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults participants.

Past Decline Versus Current eGFR and Subsequent Mortality Risk.

A single determination of eGFR associates with subsequent mortality risk. Prior decline in eGFR indicates loss of kidney function, but the relationship to mortality risk is uncertain. We conducted an individual-level meta-analysis of the risk of mortality associated with antecedent eGFR slope, adjusting for established risk factors, including last eGFR, among 1.
