Description
Kidney disease grew markedly more common among heart center patients in Brazil over a decade, report Farid Samaan and colleagues in a 2026 laboratory-based study. They tracked creatinine and urine albumin results for adults seen at a cardiologic center between 2014 and 2023.
Adjusted prevalence of chronic kidney disease rose from 20% to 31% across the period, and the share of patients in high or very high risk categories climbed from 14% to 21%. New cases over the decade reached 21.7%, concentrated among women and older patients. The authors warn that services must adapt to a sicker population, more of whom may eventually need dialysis or transplantation.
