Japanese and US populations have similar chronic kidney disease prevalence but differing clinical outcomes. A secondary analysis compared cardiovascular outcomes in a Japanese- and a US-based chronic kidney disease cohort and found that the US cohort had markedly worse cardiovascular outcomes. Mediation analysis demonstrated that differences in left ventricular structure and function could explain most of the cardiovascular outcome difference. We examine and contextualize this finding and describe implications for precision nephrology and for population health.
