The aim of this study was to analyze the predictive power of several cardiovascular risk factors and markers in a population of stable patients with moderate CKD.MethodsOne hundred twenty-eight (78 M, 50 F) outpatients with estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60mL/min were included in the study.
