ALB and acute kidney injury: Key findings include (1) RASP prevalence was 19.2% and associated with AKI, new‐onset LBBB, and increased CV mortality; (2) independent correlates of RASP included diastolic dysfunction and concentric hypertrophy; (3) low serum albumin (<4.0 g/dL) and low BMI (≤25.5 kg/m2) were also independent predictors of mortality; and (4) combining these three markers into a simple risk score substantially improved stratification for 2‐year CV mortality.
