Hispanic Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (HCRIC) Study

This is a renewal of an ongoing ancillary study to the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort (CRIC) Study to examine whether rates of loss of kidney function and subclinical and clinical cardiovascular disease varies among Hispanics versus other race/ethnic groups, after accounting for traditional risk factors. Among Hispanics with chronic kidney disease, this study will also examine the contribution of the metabolic syndrome, lifestyle factors, and patient-centered characteristics to the risk of adverse renal and cardiovascular-related outcomes.
