Prevalence, risk factors and renoprotective treatment of chronic kidney disease among internal medicine outpatients at a Central European tertiary care centre: a cross-sectional study.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This study checked how common kidney disease is among 1,933 outpatients in Central Europe. It also looked at how many people were getting standard kidney-protecting treatments. This is an observational study, so it shows a link between risk factors and disease, not proof of cause.
