Abstract
Systems and methods for assessing a patient's risk of renal dysfunction are described. A system may include sensor circuits to sense physiological signals and processors to generate signal metrics from the physiological signals. The system may generate a primary renal risk indication using a first signal metric, and a secondary renal risk indication using at least a second signal metric. The system may generate a composite renal risk indication and estimate a glomerular filtration rate or a chronic kidney disease stage using at least the primary and secondary risk indications. The composite renal risk indication, which indicative of a degree of renal dysfunction, may be presented to a clinician, or provided to a detector for detecting worsening heart failure.
