TY - JOUR AU - Fernandez-Prado, Raul AU - Kanbay, Mehmet AU - Ortiz, Alberto AU - Perez-Gomez, Maria Vanessa PY - 2019 TI - Expanding congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract (CAKUT) genetics: basonuclin 2 (BNC2) and lower urinary tract obstruction JF - Annals of Translational Medicine; Vol 7, Supplement 6 (September 20, 2019): Annals of Translational Medicine Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - CKD is characterized by chronic (>3 months), often irreversible, evidence of kidney injury or dysfunction with consequences for health (1). A diagnosis is made in the presence of decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR) or if there is analytical (most commonly pathological albuminuria), histological or imaging evidence of kidney injury. The criterion “with consequences for health” implies that CKD is associated with an increased risk of progression to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring renal replacement therapy, which is the best-known consequence of CKD.
