The median hs-cTnT value of patients without CKD was 6 [6–9] ng/L which was significantly lower when compared to stage 2 CKD (10 [6–17] ng/L), stage 3 CKD (22 [13–35] ng/L), stage 4 CKD (44 [28–70] ng/L), stage 5 CKD (66 [43–110] ng/L), and in patients with ESRD (96 [62–152] ng/L). This evidence concerns the gene TNNT2 and chronic kidney disease.
