Chronic Kidney Disease, Metabolic and Cardiovascular Disease: Insights into Present and Future Treatment
Activity description
This activity consists of a recorded presentation from the "31st Annual National Clinical Conference" held in Bloomington, Minn., Oct. 17-19, 2022.
Our advancing understanding of the genomic and pathophysiological premises of chronic kidney disease (CKD) continues to elucidate its connections with metabolic and cardiovascular disease and its high levels of morbidity and mortality. Increasing in prevalence, CKD is present in 15 percent of adults, 40 percent of individuals with heart failure and 35 percent of those with diabetes. This activity examines current data about CKD, including its health outcomes and relationships with cardiovascular and metabolic disease. Treatment regimens aimed at delaying progression and their outcomes are reviewed, along with current knowledge regarding the pathophysiologic and genetic basis of this disease. Areas of emerging interest in research on potential new treatments targeting the causes of CKD are discussed, including genomic analysis, and their relevance to clinical care.
