Odds of a family history of ESRD was 3-4x higher in adults with measured eGFR of 20-29 or 10-19 ml/min/1.73m² as compared to adults with an eGFR > 60 ml/min/1.73m².
Individuals of black race, females, the obese and those with diabetes or increased serum C-reactive protein (CRP; a measure of inflammation) concentrations were significantly more likely to report a family history of ESRD.
Chart Explanation: Adults within the lowest eGFR categories were significantly more likely to report a family history of ESRD. Multivariable analyses indicated that individuals of black race, females, the obese, and those with diabetes or increased serum C-reactive protein (CRP; a measure of inflammation) concentrations were significantly more likely to report a family history of ESRD.
Renal REGARDS represents a subcohort of 12,030 participants from the Reasons for Geographical and Racial Difference in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort study who. Participants are a population-based sample of adults, 45 years and older, from the United States were recruited in 2003-2005. In addition to information on demographics, socio-economic and health status, and clinical/lab results, participants in Renal REGARDS answered questions related to family history of ESRD (defined as a first-degree relative with ESRD); individuals were excluded from the subcohort if they reported current kidney failure and/or dialysis.
