Albuminuria in Heart Failure: A Cardiorenal Integration Biomarker Beyond Chronic Kidney Disease.

Article No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

Albumin is a blood protein that leaks into urine when kidney filters are damaged. This review argues that in heart failure the leak signals more than kidney injury: it also flags fluid overload and stressed blood vessels throughout the body. The authors suggest it could pick out patients who need stronger heart and kidney protection, and they say that idea still has to be tested in future studies. It is a review of existing thinking, so there are no new results.
