Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Systolic Blood Pressure Variability With Mortality, Coronary Heart Disease, Stroke, and Renal Disease
Elvira O. Gosmanova,Margit K. Mikkelsen,Miklos Z. Molnar,Jun L. Lu,Lenar Yessayan,Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh,Csaba P. Kovesdy,Csaba P. Kovesdy +7 more
TL;DR: Higher SBPV in individuals with and without hypertension was associated with increased risks of all-cause mortality, CHD, stroke, and ESRD, and further studies are needed to determine interventions that can lowerSBPV and their impact on adverse health outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of hepatitis C viral infection with incidence and progression of chronic kidney disease in a large cohort of US veterans
Miklos Z. Molnar,Hazem M. Alhourani,Barry M. Wall,Jun L. Lu,Elani Streja,Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh,Csaba P. Kovesdy +6 more
TL;DR: Infection with HCV is associated with higher mortality risk, incidence of decreased kidney function, and progressive loss of kidney function; randomized controlled trials are warranted to determine whether treatment of HCV infection can prevent the development and progression of chronic kidney disease and improve patient outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of hypo- and hyperkalemia with disease progression and mortality in males with chronic kidney disease: the role of race.
John Hayes,Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh,Jun L. Lu,Sharon Turban,John E. Anderson,Csaba P. Kovesdy,Csaba P. Kovesdy +6 more
TL;DR: Black patients with normal kidney function have lower urinary potassium excretion, but it is unclear if such differences have a bearing on race-associated outcomes in predialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD), and hyperkalemia management may warrant race-specific consideration.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of incident obstructive sleep apnoea with outcomes in a large cohort of US veterans
Miklos Z. Molnar,Istvan Mucsi,Marta Novak,Zoltán Szabó,Amado X. Freire,Kim Huch,Onyebuchi A. Arah,Jennie Z. Ma,Jun L. Lu,John J. Sim,Elani Streja,Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh,Csaba P. Kovesdy +12 more
TL;DR: In this large and contemporary cohort of more than 3 million US veterans, a diagnosis of incident OSA was associated with higher mortality, incident CHD, stroke and CKD and with faster kidney function decline.
Journal ArticleDOI
Association of Race With Mortality and Cardiovascular Events in a Large Cohort of US Veterans
Csaba P. Kovesdy,Keith C. Norris,L. Ebony Boulware,Jun L. Lu,Jennie Z. Ma,Elani Streja,Miklos Z. Molnar,Kamyar Kalantar-Zadeh +7 more
TL;DR: Black veterans with normal estimated glomerular filtration rate and equal access to healthcare have lower all-cause mortality and incidence of coronary heart disease and a similar incidence of ischemic stroke in contrast to the higher mortality experienced by black individuals in the general US population.
