Overview
Chronic Kidney Disease in Atrial Fibrillation
In a study of data from Danish national registries, CKD was associated with an increased risk of stroke and bleeding among patients with atrial fibrillation. Warfarin decreased the risk of stroke among such patients. Both warfarin and aspirin increased the risk of bleeding.
The prevalence of both atrial fibrillation and chronic kidney disease increases with age.

The prevalence of atrial fibrillation is 2.3% among persons 40 years of age or older and 5.9% among those 65 years of age or older,

and the prevalence of end-stage renal disease increases from approximately 3.5% among persons 45 to 64 years of age to nearly 6% among those 75 years of age or older.
