Abstract excerpt
Background: The relationship between basal metabolic rate (BMR) and Chronic kidney disease (CKD) remains unclear and controversial. In this study, we investigated the causal role of BMR in renal injury, and inversely, whether altered renal function causes changes in BMR. Methods: In this two-sample mendelian randomization (MR) study, Genetic data were accessed from published genome-wide association studies (GWAS)...
