<scp>Multi‐variable</scp> biomarker approach in identifying incident heart failure in chronic kidney disease: results from the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort study

Abstract

A basic panel of four blood biomarkers (BNP, FGF23, fibrinogen, and hsTnT) can be used as a standalone score to predict incident HF in patients with CKD allowing early identification of patients at high-risk for HF. Addition of biomarker score to clinical risk model modestly reclassifies HF risk and slightly improves discrimination.
