Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease in CKD: Contemporary Insights into Pathogenesis, Diagnosis, and Management.

Article C Peer reviewed Observational

Key takeaways

This review explains why people with kidney disease are much more likely to die from heart problems than from kidney failure itself — due to a mix of standard risks like high blood pressure and unique kidney-related changes in minerals and hormones. Because it is a review of past studies, not a trial, it shows links but cannot prove cause and effect.
