N‐acteyl‐ß‐D‐glucosaminidase and kidney injury molecule‐1: New predictors for long‐term progression of chronic kidney disease in patients with heart failure

Abstract

During long-term follow-up chronic heart failure patients with CKD show a relevant disease progression. The current study emphasizes a strong association of the tubular biomarkers NAG and KIM-1 with CKD progression in chronic heart failure and suggests their usefulness as cardiorenal markers.
