Cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease.
National Kidney Foundation guidelines define chronic kidney disease (CKD) as persistent kidney damage (confirmed by renal biopsy or markers of kidney damage) and/or glomerular filtration rate (GFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m2 for greater than three months. Patients with CKD experience higher mortality and adverse cardiovascular (CV) event rates, which remains significant after adjustment for conventional...
متن کامل10. Cardiovascular Risk in Chronic Kidney Disease
Burden of chronic disease throughout the world is steadily increasing. Cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) frequently coexist and represent a major challenge in today’s medicine. Although exact pathophysiological mechanisms are not fully understood, it seems that CVD and CKD can initiate, enhance, and perpetuate each other, eventually leading to vicious circle and prem...
متن کاملPrevalence of chronic kidney disease in two major Indian cities and projections for associated cardiovascular disease
India is experiencing an alarming rise in the burden of noncommunicable diseases, but data on the incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) are sparse. Using the Center for Cardiometabolic Risk Reduction in South Asia surveillance study (a population-based survey of Delhi and Chennai, India) we estimated overall, and age-, sex-, city-, and diabetes-specific prevalence of CKD, and defined the di...
متن کاملIs Klotho deficiency independently associated with cardiovascular risk in chronic kidney disease?
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from a high burden of cardiovascular disease (CVD) [1]. This is partly due to progressive deterioration of calciumephosphate homeostasis. Although the molecular mechanism of action of Klotho is not well understood, fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and its coreceptor Klotho have emerged as pivotal players in calciumephosphate homeostasis. Klo...
