hyperparathyroidism, inflammation, metabolic acidosis, malnutrition and protein-energy
wasting. The excess cardiovascular risk related to CKD is due in part to a higher prevalence
of traditional atherosclerotic risk factors, in part to non-traditional, emerging risk factors
peculiar to CKD. While even minor renal dysfunction is an independent predictor of adverse …
