- Frailty is a significant comorbidity in chronic kidney disease (CKD) linked to adverse outcomes.
- Study focused on frailty prevalence and associated factors in nondialysis CKD patients using NHANES 2007-2018 data.
- Participants categorized as robust (30.3%), prefrail (67.2%), and frail (2.5%), with most in early-stage CKD (G1-G2).
- Frailty associated with older age, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and lower education levels.
- Key laboratory findings linked to frailty include lower albumin, hemoglobin, bilirubin, globulin, lymphocyte count, and higher blood urea nitrogen and monocyte count.
- Highlights the need for early screening and integrated care strategies targeting modifiable factors in CKD patients.
