The American Heart Association has identified a new medical condition that signifies the strong association between obesity, heart, and kidney disease. The goal of labeling the disorder called cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome, or CKM, is to achieve early diagnosis for those at most risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.
Treating organs that are part of the syndrome with new medications has resulted in a decrease in cardiovascular events. For example, early kidney disease can be detected in a patient’s urine sample and drugs can be prescribed to prevent the progression to chronic kidney disease, said Taub. • Stage 2: Someone with Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, high triglycerides, or kidney disease. Treatments would include medications to control blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol. Patients may also be prescribed diabetes drugs such as SGLT2 inhibitors, which protect kidney function, and GLP-1 receptor agonists, such as Ozempic or Wegovy, to help control blood sugar or lose weight.
