Glomerular Filtration Rate, Cardiorenal End Points, and All-Cause Mortality in Type 2 Diabetic Patients

Abstract
OBJECTIVE—Chronic kidney disease (CKD) predicts cardiovascular disease (CVD) in the general population. We investigated the effects of stages of renal function using the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) on all-cause mortality and cardiovascular end points in a prospective cohort of Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.
