C-reactive protein levels, airflow obstruction, and chronic kidney disease

There is some evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be related, perhaps through systemic inflammation, which is common to both. However, this relationship has not yet been clearly demonstrated. The aim of this study was to investigate the associatio...

Description
Summary:There is some evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be related, perhaps through systemic inflammation, which is common to both. However, this relationship has not yet been clearly demonstrated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between airflow obstruction, CKD, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in Japanese men. The study included 11,587 men, aged 40-88 years, who underwent a health check-up. Airflow obstruction was defined as a forced expiratory volume in 1 s/forced vital capacity of
