Prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease in the United States

TL;DR: The prevalence of CKD in the United States in 1999-2004 is higher than it was in 1988-1994 and this increase is partly explained by the increasing prevalence of diabetes and hypertension and raises concerns about future increased incidence of kidney failure and other complications.

Kidney disease as a risk factor for development of cardiovascular disease: a statement from the American Heart Association Councils on Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease, High Blood Pressure Research, Clinical Cardiology, and Epidemiology and Prevention.

TL;DR: There was a high prevalence of CVD in CKD and that mortality due to CVD was 10 to 30 times higher in dialysis patients than in the general population, and the task force recommended that patients with CKD be considered in the “highest risk group” for subsequent CVD events.

Follow-up report on the diagnosis of diabetes mellitus.

TL;DR: The International Expert Committee was convened to reexamine the classification and diagnostic criteria of diabetes, which were based on the 1979 publication of the National Diabetes Data Group and subsequent WHO study group and adopted several changes to the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and for lesser degrees of impaired glucose regulation (IFG/IGT).

Urinary albumin excretion predicts cardiovascular and noncardiovascular mortality in general population

TL;DR: Urinary albumin excretion is a predictor of all-cause mortality in the general population and the excess risk was more attributable to death from CV causes, independent of the effects of other CV risk factors.
