Abstract
hs-cTnT and NT-proBNP levels independently predicted ESRD risk in the general population, with more evident results for hs-cTnT. These results suggest the involvement of cardiac abnormality, particularly cardiac injury, in the progression of reduced kidney function and/or may reflect the useful property of hs-cTnT as an end-organ damage marker.
