      Because breast cancer is common, primary care physicians will encounter many patients who have a personal or family history of it. Many patients may benefit from referral to a cancer genetics program for assessment, genetic counseling, and consideration of genetic testing. This article discusses the complexities of risk assessment in cancer genetics (focusing on breast cancer), and highlights the primary care physician’s role in identifying and caring for patients at risk.

    1. Albuminuria: When urine predicts kidney and cardiovascular disease

      Albuminuria is common. Traditionally considered a precursor to diabetic nephropathy, it has now been directly linked to adverse cardiovascular outcomes and death, independent of other risk factors. In this review, we compare the measures of albuminuria, examine the evidence linking it to renal failure, cardiovascular disease, and death, and provide recommendations for its testing and management.
