ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1159/000339173 | Abstract: | Background/Aims: In persons with diabetes, retinal microvascular abnormalities are associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, it is not clear if the same relationship applies in persons without diabetes. Methods: We examined 2,971 participants from a population-based study (240 with, 2,731 without diabetes). Retinal photographs were masked graded for retinal microvascular signs, and CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFRMDRD) | Source Title: | Kidney and Blood Pressure Research | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/109602 | ISSN: | 14204096 | DOI: | 10.1159/000339173 |
