Why the study?
Do lifestyle modifications and treatment of nontraditional risk factors reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Do lifestyle modifications and treatment of nontraditional risk factors reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease?
Lifestyle modifications and the treatment of nontraditional risk factors are highlighted as key measures to reduce cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Supports further investigation of lifestyle modifications and nontraditional factors in CKD; does not yet justify practice changes.
Lifestyle modifications, including weight control, cessation of smoking and dietary salt restriction, are measures that should have a major impact in the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with CKD. Additional benefit may be gained by treating nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors that are characteristic of chronic renal failure.
