Chronic kidney disease and the risk of incident hearing loss
There is a strikingly high prevalence of sensorineural hearing loss among patients with chronic kidney disease, with estimates ranging from 36% to 77% however, longitudinal data are limited. We assessed whether lower baseline estimated glomerular filtration rate calculated using creatinine (eGFRCr) as well as decline in eGFRCr over time, were associated with incident hearing loss.
