Cardiovascular disease in CKD in 2012: moving forward, slowly but surely

Pranav S Garimella et al. Nat Rev Nephrol. 2013 Feb.

Abstract

During 2012, an observational study confirmed the high risk of cardiovascular disease ascribed to chronic kidney disease (CKD) and again raised the question of whether CKD should be considered a cardiovascular disease risk equivalent. Several other studies evaluated methods to mitigate cardiovascular risk in CKD. The results of these studies have advanced the field but have also raised more questions.
