Target renal damage: the microvascular associations of increased aortic stiffness in patients with COPD
BACKGROUND: Although renal impairment has been described in COPD, there is opportunity to evaluate further to determine nature and consider optimal management. Increased aortic stiffness, as seen in COPD, leads to reduced buffering of pulsatile flow. We hypothesised that urinary albumin creatinine r...
