Effect of chronic kidney disease on all-cause mortality in tuberculosis disease: an Australian cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

While there has been a recent epidemiological and clinical focus on the interaction between diabetes and tuberculosis, the interaction between chronic kidney disease and tuberculosis has been less studied. In particular, little is known of the effect of eGFR levels well above that seen in end stage kidney disease on mortality.
