Abstract

The International Kidney Evaluation Association Japan (IKEAJ) was created to improve public health awareness of chronic kidney disease (CKD) by screening high-risk CKD populations. This study aimed to retrospectively examine data from KEEP Japan and detect the CKD risk factors for the onset and the progression of CKD. A total of 1,947 participants (mean age: 56.9 ± 16.4 years) to KEEP Japan were enrolled. More than 70% of the participants had no CKD. However, 7.5% of the participants were classified as high risk. The participants with a history of hypertension and older than 60 years had significantly higher odds ratio for occurrence of CKD. In addition, the participants with history of diabetes or cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure (BP), anemia, and low HDL-C had high odds ratios. It is therefore suggested that the appropriate control of BP, blood glucose, anemia, and HDL-C is important for populations with CKD risk factors to reduce the likelihood of CKD.

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.

Cardiovascular Disorder in Diabetes

Diabetes is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disorders and heart failure. Discover the latest research here.
