Association of blood urea nitrogen to high-density lipoprotein ratio with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in individuals with mildly reduced eGFR

Abstract

Highlights • BUN/HDL is a novel CKM biomarker for risk stratification in mildly reduced eGFR.• Elevated BUN/HDL predicts all-cause and CV mortality, strongest in early CKD G2.• BUN/HDL is identified as a robust predictor for both mortalities in NHANES.
