  Hypertension--Scourge of CKD/CVD?

  Hypertension appears to be the scourge of CKD and CVD. Is it any wonder that CVD events are elevated in the CKD (including post-transplant) population when its a battle to control blood pressure? How much of the problem is medication compliance, drug interaction, or sub-optimal BP-lowering regimen? Does aggressive BP-control result in long-term benefit? Can anyone develop a BP-lowering med (or patch) that only needs ...more »

How much of the problem is medication compliance, drug interaction, or sub-optimal BP-lowering regimen? Does aggressive BP-control result in long-term benefit? Can anyone develop a BP-lowering med (or patch) that only needs to be used weekly or monthly?

  Why is CKD associated with higher risk of cardiovascular disease

  Stage 3 and greater CKD is associated epidemiological with higher CVD risk and associated with other types of vascular pathology, however do we really understand the causal pathways which lead to this increase CVD risk other types of vascular damage. There are some suggestions that at least for stage 4 and stage 5 CKD risk that pathways may to some extent be different because statins so far may been ineffective patients ...more »

  Stage 3 and greater CKD is associated epidemiological with higher CVD risk and associated with other types of vascular pathology, however do we really understand the causal pathways which lead to this increase CVD risk other types of vascular damage. There are some suggestions that at least for stage 4 and stage 5 CKD risk that pathways may to some extent be different because statins so far may been ineffective patients with severe CKD. We also need to better understand the mechanisms that cause other types of vascular damage such as small vessel injury.
