The Kidney–Heart Connection

Type 2 diabetes causes damage to the kidneys, contributing to chronic kidney disease, which then increases the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes has a high global disease burden and chronic kidney disease is one of the most common complications.

Chronic kidney disease progression in patients with type 2 diabetes is driven by metabolic, haemodynamic, inflammatory and fibrotic factors.
