From: Aortic calcification burden predicts deterioration of renal function after radical nephrectomy
Renal function compared in patients with low and high ACI in non-CKD and pre-CKD groups. Longitudinal evaluation of eGFR reveals significantly poorer renal function in patients with a high than a low ACI in the non-CKD group (a) and in the pre-CKD group (c). The decline ratios are higher in patients with high rather than low ACI in the non-CKD group (b) and in the pre-CKD group (d)
