Assessing the Relationship Between High-sensitivity C-reactive Protein and Kidney Function Employing Mendelian Randomization in the Japanese Community-based J-MICC Study

Background: Inflammation is thought to be a risk factor for kidney disease. However, whether inflammatory status is either a cause or an outcome of chronic kidney disease remains controversial. We aimed to investigate the causal relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and e...
