    Urinary
    Protein Excretion Rate Is the Best Independent
    Predictor of ESRF in Non-diabetic
    Proteinuric Chronic Nephropathies

    Kidney
    Int 53: 1209-1219, 1998

       

    The
    best independent predictor of disease progression
    and end-stage renal failure in chronic nephropathies
    is urinary protein excretion rate.

       

    Several
    factors have been implicated in the progression of
    chronic renal disease.
    These included proteinuria, hypertension,
    black race, diagnosis of polycystic kidney disease,
    serum transferrin levels, and serum high-density
    lipoprotein cholesterol.

    Effects of Estrogen Replacement Therapy on the
    Lipoprotein Profile in Postmenopausal Women with
    ESRD.

    Standard dosages of estrogen increase HDL
    cholesterol to a level expected to improve the
    cardiovascular risk profile of postmenopausal women.
    Further research is needed to determine whether
    estrogen replacement reduces the incidences or
    severity of cardiovascular disease in ESRD patients
    to a degree considered normal
