Examining the Impact of zinc Deficiency on moderate to severe chronic kidney disease risk and hypertension as an effect Modifier

Key takeaways

This study looked at whether low zinc is linked to a higher risk of moderate to severe kidney disease. It also checked whether that link changes in people with high blood pressure. It shows a link, not proof that low zinc causes kidney disease. The abstract was not available, so we could not check the numbers.
