Study of 8M Canadians shows increased health risks with a 'slight' decrease in kidney function
Over a person's life their kidney function will decrease. Sood says this is normal, but this study showed that many younger Canadians are seeing early decreases in their kidney function that are not being caught or monitored.are associated with a 1.4-fold increase in death, a 1.3-fold increase in a cardiac event and a six-fold increase in the risk of kidney failure.
Sood worries that due to the high threshold of chronic kidney disease at 60 per cent function for all people, it could be too high to take preventative measures. A number of factors can put people at risk of developing chronic kidney disease but the most common, Sood said, are high blood pressure and diabetes. This can be mitigated by living a healthy lifestyle and not smoking."More work needs to be done to tease out among these young adults who have slightly low risk, what is the exact cause? Who are the highest-risk groups," Sood said.
