Association of Albuminuria and Regression of Chronic Kidney Disease in Adults With Newly Diagnosed Moderate to Severe Chronic Kidney Disease.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are risk-stratified for adverse events based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and albuminuria level. CKD has often a favorable course (CKD regression) regardless of eGFR. Determining whether lower albuminuria is associated with CKD regression may have implications on CKD management.

Objective

To assess the 5-year probability of CKD regression across albuminuria categories accounting for the competing risks of CKD progression and death in people with newly diagnosed CKD and the association between albuminuria level and CKD regression.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study used administrative and laboratory data from Alberta, Canada, for adults with incident moderate to seve
