Chronic kidney disease: ESRD risk in CKD patients with incident atrial fibrillation

摘要

Adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and incident atrial fibrillation are at increased risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), say researchers. "These novel findings expand on previous knowledge by highlighting that atrial fibrillation is linked to a worse renal prognosis in patients with underlying kidney dysfunction," explains researcher Nisha Bansal.
