Disease Education

 

    Heart failure and CKD frequently coexist and share common risk factors, such as diabetes.2,3 There is a need to understand the challenges in these interconnected conditions.

    Abbreviations 

    CKD, chronic kidney disease; CV, cardiovascular; CVD, cardiovascular disease; HF, heart failure; HFpEF, heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; UACR, urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
