With Chronic Kidney Disease progressing, the risk of getting cardiovascular
disease increases. There are 58% of patients with Chronic Kidney Disease dying
from cardiovascular disease when serum creatinine shows abnormal because of the
damaged kidneys.
And their mortality of cardiovascular disease is 15 times
higher than common people. In addition, for patients with Stage 5 Chronic Kidney Disease, the mortality is 35 times higher than common people.
Why do patients with Chronic Kidney Disease have high risk of getting
cardiovascular disease?
Besides the traditional risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes,
hyperlipemia, hyperuricemia, obesity and so on, patients with Chronic Kidney
Disease also have some peculiar risk factors.
a. Their kidneys are damaged, so the filtering function of kidneys declines.
And the retention of extra water and salt in the body causes increased burden of
the heart and high blood pressure.
b. Toxins cannot be removed from the body. This causes the deposition of
toxins inside the body, which can damage the heart functions directly and
aggravate arteriosclerosis at the same time.
Because of the double risk factors mentioned above, for patients with
preventing Chronic Kidney Disease, to prevent getting cardiovascular disease
becomes more complex and arduous. They not only overcome traditional risk
factors, but also eliminate Chronic Kidney Disease relevant risk factors. Only
make these two points can patients with Chronic Kidney Disease avoid or reduce
the incidence and progression of cardiovascular disease.
