Estimation of kidney function is often part of daily clinical practice, mostly done by using the
endogenous glomerular filtration rate (GFR)‐markers creatinine or cystatin C. A …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) causes substantial global morbidity and increases
cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. Unlike other chronic diseases with established …

Genes underneath signals from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for kidney

the American Heart Association in response to the high prevalence of metabolic and kidney …

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly prevalent in the elderly population. However, it is
rarely investigated whether kidney function is causally linked to biological aging itself. In this …

A clinical diagnosis of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is commonly achieved by estimating
