AHA Science Advisory

Detection of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With or at Increased Risk of Cardiovascular Disease

A Science Advisory From the American Heart Association Kidney and Cardiovascular Disease Council; the Councils on High Blood Pressure Research, Cardiovascular Disease in the Young, and Epidemiology and Prevention; and the Quality of Care and Outcomes Research Interdisciplinary Working Group: Developed in Collaboration With the National Kidney Foundation

Frank C. Brosius, III, MD, FAHA, Chair; Thomas H. Hostetter, MD; Ellie Kelepouris, MD, FAHA; Mark M. Mitsnefes, MD; Sharon M. Moe, MD, FAHA; Michael A. Moore, MD; Subramaniam Pennathur, MD; Grace L. Smith, MPH; Peter W.F. Wilson, MD, FAHA

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) occurs commonly in patients with cardiovascular disease. In addition, CKD is a risk factor for the development and progression of cardiovascular disease. In this advisory, we present recommendations for the detection of CKD in patients with cardiovascular disease. CKD can be reliably detected with the combined use of the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease equation to estimate glomerular filtration rate and a sensitive test to detect microalbuminuria. All patients with cardiovascular disease should be screened for evidence of kidney disease with these two determinations.


Key Words: AHA Scientific Statements • chronic kidney disease • albuminuria • risk factors
