Abstract: |
Objectives There is some evidence that chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD) may be related, perhaps through systemic inflammation, which is common to both. However, this relationship has not yet been clearly demonstrated. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between airflow obstruction, CKD, and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels in Japanese men. |
