Urinary albumin excretion and chronic kidney disease in children with vesicoureteral reflux

This study shows that albuminuria is associated with decreased renal function in patients with VUR and that it could be used to monitor renal function in this condition.Table. Association results between ACR values, GFR values, and FF values using continuous and binary methods.Association between ACR and GFR valuesβ coefficient = −0.02p = 0.01OR 0.94p ≤ 0.001Association between ACR and FF valuesβ coefficient = 0.07p = 0.01OR 1.11p = 0.036ACR, albumin to creatinine ratio; FF, filtration fraction; GFR, glomerular filtration rate.
