Relative telomere length (RTL) is considered as a biological marker for aging.
•
We investigated RTL in 4802 patients from the German Chronic Kidney Disease study.
•
We observed a U-shaped association of RTL with chronic kidney disease duration.
•
RTL was longer in patients with short and long versus intermediate disease duration.
•
Our data support a higher plasticity of RTL as until recently anticipated.
