Endothelial dysfunction is a precursor to atherosclerosis and is implicated in the coexistence between cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). We examined whether retinal microvascular dysfunction is present in subjects with renal impairment and predictive of long-term CKD progression in patients with CVD.
