Summary:

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) with reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) represents a high-magnitude increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality (ACM). The main non-GFR determinant of the endogenous filtration marker creatinine is its production rate in muscle. Stratification of GFR by a marker of muscle function (grip strength) associated with muscle mass may remove heterogeneity, providing a more accurate marker of mortality risk.

This study evaluates whether grip strength identifies ACM risk associated with estimated GFR (eGFR) from serum creatinine in a subsample of the UK Household Longitudinal Survey (UKHLS).
