Fluid overload is a common characteristic associated with renal progression in CKD. Additionally, fluid overload is an independent predictor of all-cause or cardiovascular mortality in patients on dialysis, but its influence on patients not on dialysis is uncertain. The aim of the study was to assess the relationship between the severity of fluid status and clinical outcomes in an advanced CKD cohort.
