A new syndrome links diabetes and heart and kidney disease
There were over 42,800 organ transplants performed in the U.S. in 2022. The identification of a new and widespread syndrome — CKM or cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome — that links heart and kidney disease and diabetes, makes you wonder just how many will be done in the coming years. And how many folks will need multiple transplants!
The American Heart Association identified this new condition. In their study, published in JAMA Cardiology, researchers from Harvard Medical School looked at data from 2015 to 2020 on 11,607 U.S. adults with a mean age of 48.5. They discovered that 26.3% of them had at least one of the three conditions, 8% had two and 1.5% had all three — up from 0.7% in 1999-2002. For folks 65-plus, the numbers were significantly higher: 33.6% had one condition, 17.1% had two and 5% had all three.
If you have excess body fat, impaired glucose tolerance and/or prediabetes, that’s Stage 1 of CKM syndrome and the AHA advises that you adopt a healthy lifestyle (start walking every day), aim for at least 5% weight loss and go for a CKM screening every couple years. Once you have a metabolic risk factor like diabetes, that’s Stage 2. To prevent progression of heart and kidney disease, you need to aggressively treat diabetes, high blood pressure, elevated triglycerides and/or kidney disease.
Are you in Stage 1 or 2? Get tested for heart, kidney and metabolic health annually so you can control or reverse health challenges associated with CKM
