BACKGROUND: Proteins and metabolites play crucial roles in various biological functions and are frequently interconnected through enzymatic or transport processes. METHODS: We present an integrated analysis of 4,091 proteins and 630 metabolites in the Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study (N=1,708; average follow-up for kidney failure [KF], 9.5 years, with 537 events). Proteins and metabolites were integrated using an unsupervised clustering method and we assessed associations between clusters and CKD progression and kidney failure using Cox proportional hazards models...
