Obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity as risk factors for CKD: are men more vulnerable?Stein Hallan
Division of Nephrology, Department of Medicine, St Olavs Hospital, Trondheim, Norway
Am J Kidney Dis 47:396-405. 2006..We investigated associations between obesity, smoking, and physical inactivity and chronic kidney disease (CKD) in the general population and whether risk for CKD was restricted to men...
Smoking is a risk factor in the progression to kidney failureStein I Hallan

Am J Kidney Dis 56:477-85. 2010..Some guidelines recommend kidney function testing of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia; however, the significance of extending this to general population screening is unclear...
The conundrum of chronic kidney disease classification and end-stage renal risk prediction in the elderly--what is the right approach?Stein Ivar Hallan
Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, St Olav University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway
Nephron Clin Pract 116:c307-16. 2010..The consequence should be a revision of the 2002 KDOQI CKD classification system according to these findings, which would be a significant step forward, particularly for elderly CKD patients...
Combining GFR and albuminuria to classify CKD improves prediction of ESRDStein I Hallan
Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
J Am Soc Nephrol 20:1069-77. 2009..e., it would detect 65.6% of all individuals progressing to ESRD). In conclusion, all levels of reduced eGFR should be complemented by quantification of urinary albumin to predict optimally progression to ESRD...
Kidney function for the non-nephrologist: an emerging tool for predicting mortality riskStein I Hallan
Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Institute of Cancer Research and Molecular Biology, Trondheim, Norway
Kidney Int 79:8-10. 2011..They found that an eGFR of 94 ml/min per 1.73 m(2) and an albumin-creatinine ratio of 9 mg/g were the optimal cutoff values, that is, more 'normal' values than are used to define chronic kidney disease...
Relationship between chronic kidney disease prevalence and end-stage renal disease riskStein Ivar Hallan
Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
Curr Opin Nephrol Hypertens 17:286-91. 2008..The review will summarize these studies and briefly discuss the clinical implications...
Effect of intrauterine growth restriction on kidney function at young adult age: the Nord Trøndelag Health (HUNT 2) StudyStein Hallan
Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
Am J Kidney Dis 51:10-20. 2008..The hypothesis of intrauterine origin of adult disease is debated. We tested whether intrauterine growth restriction is associated with later kidney function...
Association of kidney function and albuminuria with cardiovascular mortality in older vs younger individuals: The HUNT II StudyStein Hallan
Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, NTNU St Olav University Hospital, Olav Kyrres gt 17, Trondheim, Norway
Arch Intern Med 167:2490-6. 2007..In elderly persons, traditional cardiovascular risk factors are less predictive, and measures of end organ damage, such as kidney disease, may be needed for improved cardiovascular mortality risk stratification...
Screening strategies for chronic kidney disease in the general population: follow-up of cross sectional health surveyStein I Hallan
Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, 7006 Trondheim, Norway
BMJ 333:1047. 2006..To find an effective screening strategy for detecting patients with chronic kidney disease and to describe the natural course of the disease...
International comparison of the relationship of chronic kidney disease prevalence and ESRD riskStein I Hallan
Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology, St Olav University Hospital, N 7006 Trondheim, Norway
J Am Soc Nephrol 17:2275-84. 2006..In conclusion, CKD prevalence in Norway was similar to that in the United States, suggesting that lower progression to ESRD rather than a smaller pool of individuals at risk accounts for the lower incidence of ESRD in Norway...
Estimating glomerular filtration rate in the general population: the second Health Survey of Nord-Trondelag (HUNT II)Stein Hallan
Department of Cancer Research and Molecular Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Norway
Nephrol Dial Transplant 21:1525-33. 2006..However, there is an ongoing discussion whether the MDRD formula should be used in the general population as several studies have found a large underestimation of its GFR estimates...
Screening for chronic kidney disease: which strategy?Stein I Hallan
Department of Renal Medicine, St Olav University Hospital, Trondheim, Norway
J Nephrol 23:147-55. 2010..Screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been increasingly advocated. However, several criticisms have been levied, and screening programs for CKD are not universally accepted...
