The Risk of Major Hemorrhage with CKD

This retrospective cohort study (2002-2010)  grouped 516,197 adults ≥40 years old by eGFR (≥90, 60 to <90, 45 to <60, 30 to <45, 15 to <30, or <15 ml/min per 1.73 m(2)) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR; >300, 30-300, or <30 mg/g) to examine incidence of hemorrhage. The 3-year cumulative incidence of hemorrhage increased 20-fold across declining eGFR and increasing urine ACR groupings (highest eGFR/lowest ACR: 0.5%; lowest eGFR/highest ACR: 10.1%). The associations attenuated but remained significant after adjustment for anticoagulant and antiplatelet use in patients  ≥66 years old. This data shows that declining eGFR and increasing albuminuria each independently increase hemorrhage risk.       : Reduced Exposure to Calcineurin Inhibitors in Renal Transplantation Serum Uric Acid and Risk of CKD in Type 2 Diabetes.
