Observational Study
Association of fluid overload with kidney disease progression in advanced CKD: a prospective cohort study.
Fluid overload is a common phenomenon in patients in a late stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, little is known about whether fluid overload is related to kidney disease progression in patients with CKD. Accordingly, the aim of the study was to assess the association of the severity of fluid status and kidney disease progression in an advanced CKD cohort. ⋯ Fluid overload is an independent risk factor associated with initiation of RRT and rapid eGFR decline in patients with advanced CKD.
