Impaired renal function

1. Urinary nickel is associated with impaired renal function in humans (OR 1.26, 95% CI 1.05–1.51).

   “the comparison with the Q1 revealed that the Q4 group of urinary nickel had a 26% increased risk of impaired renal function (OR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.05-1.51).”

1. Impaired renal function raises the risk of mortality in humans (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.34–1.68).

   “eGFR <45 mL/min/1.73 m 2 (compared to ≥45) were associated with an increased risk of mortality (HR (95% CI): 1.12(1.04-1.20) and 1.50(1.34-1.68), respectively).”
