Age-dependent sex differences in acute kidney injury among patients with chronic kidney disease

Paper C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study looked at sudden kidney injury, a fast drop in kidney function, in people who already have chronic kidney disease. It asked whether the risk differs between men and women, and whether that gap changes with age. It reports that the difference between the sexes depends on age, so it is not the same at every stage of life. It is observational, so it shows a link, not proof of cause, and the full numbers were not available in this sweep.
