Excess mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is predominantly due to cardiovascular disease. We explored the prognostic value of biomarkers of cardiac overload [B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP)] and inflammation [high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP)] for all-cause mortality in patients with CKD.
