Overview

Patients with chronic renal failure have significantly increased risk of cardiovascular events. The numerous traditional (hypertension, dyslipidemia and diabetes) and nontraditional renal specific risk factors (retention of uremic toxins, anemia, hypervolemia, malnutrition and impaired calcium and phosphate balance) contribute to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The early detection and intervention treatable risk factors can reduce the occurrence of cardiovascular events. The focus of comprehensive therapy consist in blood pressure and dyslipidemia control.

Keywords:
