For example, CKD affects over 20 million adults in the U.S. and is defined by an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or an albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR) ≥ 30 mg/g, two readily available clinical tests [1, 2]. This evidence concerns the gene ALB and chronic kidney disease.
