Abstract

Serum troponin T levels using a highly sensitive assay (hsTnT) in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) not on dialysis have not been examined. The aim of this prospective cohort study was to investigate the association of hsTnT with cardiac events in ambulatory CKD patients not on dialysis. The serum hsTnT level was measured in 442 ambulatory CKD patients not on dialysis whose estimated glomerular filtration rate was
