Soluble Klotho

downin humans1HR 0.27

1 study
  1. Soluble Klotho is linked with a lower risk of renal function decline in humans (competing risk analysis, independent of traditional risk factors) (HR 0.27 per 10% higher level (95% CI 0.15–0.52); 24% vs 6.2% cumulative incidence below vs above median 204.4 pg/mL).

    “a 10% higher sKlotho level reduced the incidence of the primary outcome by 12% (hazard ratio, 0.27; 95% confidence interval, 0.15 to 0.52; P < 0.001]”
