Risk Factors for Cardiovascular Disease in Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease
Risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common disease around us. According to statistics, almost every ten people have a person suffering from CKD. And CKD is not a simple disease, because it can cause many complications as the disease worsens, and one of the menacing complications is cardiovascular disease. In order to live better, you need to know the risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD.
First, high blood pressure is the second leading cause of CKD, as it can damage the walls of blood vessels over time, which can reduce the amount of oxygen in the kidneys and heart. In addition, high blood pressure can also damage tiny kidney filters that can purify our blood. Thus, a person with CKD with high blood pressure is more prone to cardiovascular disease.
Secondly, the preservation of water and sodium is also one of the factors. Since normal kidneys perform the function of regulating water and sodium, damaged kidneys can not remove excess water and sodium, and they can remain in the body, which can increase blood volume, meaning the heart should do more work that can cause ventricular hypertrophy and heart failure and etc.
Thirdly, anemia is also a common symptom of kidney disease. Healthy kidneys produce erythropoietin (EPO), which can help produce erythrocytes.
Fourth, abnormal levels of calcium and phosphorus can lead to cardiovascular disease indirectly.
In addition, inflammation is also a key factor in the development of cardiovascular disease. And other factors that can lead to cardiovascular diseases are diabetes, obesity and so on.
In conclusion, there are many risk factors for cardiovascular disease in patients with CKD. Treatment of CKD in a timely manner can prevent cardiovascular disease. In China, besides dialysis, kidney transplantation, we also have osmotherapy of micro-Chinese medicine, immunotherapy, foot therapy, oral Chinese medicine, etc., which can also help you prevent cardiovascular diseases and get rid of CKD.
