Relation of albuminuria to some complications of chronic kidney disease in children: a single-center cross-sectional study

Abstract

Chronic kidney disease is associated with several complications with higher prevalence and intensity at lower glomerular filtration rate. Albuminuria is the traditional biomarker of kidney damage. Although albuminuria can contribute to renal function decline, only a few studies have been published on whether albuminuria is asso‑ ciated with concurrent complications of chronic kidney disease. The aim of this work was to identify the relation between albuminuria and some of concurrent complications of chronic kidney disease among children.
