Longitudinal high-sensitivity troponin T predicts mortality in CKD

03 Feb 2022

An independent association exists between longitudinally measured cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and mortality risk in older patients with stage 4 and 5 chronic kidney disease (CKD), reveals a study. This suggests that monitoring patients with cTnT may serve well in identifying those with a high death risk.
