The three illnesses (heart disease, diabetes, kidney disease) overlap so much that last year the American Heart Association coined the term cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome to describe patients who have two or more of these diseases, or are at risk of developing them.
A new study suggests that nearly 90 percent of American adults already show some early signs of these connected conditions, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to shared risk factors early on to prevent advanced stages of C.K.M. syndrome.
Your kidneys, heart, and metabolic system work closely together, meaning problems in one area can lead to issues in the others, highlighting the interconnection of these chronic illnesses.
