牛肉韭菜饺子Hearts and kidneys: If one’s diad, better keep a clo eye on1 the other. Surprising new rearch shows kidney dia somehow speeds up heart dia well before it has ravaged the kidneys. And perhaps not so surprising, doctors have finally proven that heart dia can trigger kidney destruction, too.
The work, from two studies involving over 50,000 patients, promis to boost efforts to diagno simmering kidney dia earlier. All it takes are urine and blood tests that cost less than $ 25, something proponents want to become as routine as cholesterol checks. 2 “The average patient knows their cholesterol,”says Dr. Peter McCullough, preventive medicine chief at Michigan’s William Beaumont Hospital. “The average patient has no idea of3 their kidney function.”
Chronic kidney dia, or CKD, is a quiet epidemic: Many of the 19 million Americans estimated to have it don’t know they do. The kidneys lo their ability to filter waste out of the bloodstream so slowly that symptoms aren”t obvious until the organs
are very damaged. End-stage kidney failure is rising fast, with 400,000 people requiring dialysis or a transplant to survive, a toll that has doubled in each of the last two decades, s
And while CKD patients often are terrified of having to go on dialysis, the hard truth is that most will die of heart dia before their kidneys disintegrate to that point, something kidney specialists have recognized for veral years but isn”t widely known, s Indeed, the new
rearch is highlighted in this month”s Archives of Internal Medicine with a call for doctors who care for heart patients to start rigorously checking out the kidneys, and for better care of early kidney dia. 7
The link sounds logical. After alla , high blood pressure and diabetes are chief risk factors for both chronic kidney dia and heart attacks. But the link goes beyond“ tho risk factors, stress McCullough: Once the kidneys begin to fail, something in turn10 accelerates heart dia, not just in the obviously sick or very old, but at what he calls “a shockingly early age.”McCullough and colleagues tracked more than 37,000 relatively young people—average age 53 — who volunteered for a kidney screening.
Three markers of kidney function were checked: The rate at which kidneys filter blood, called the GF
R or glomerular filtration rate11; levels of the protein albumin in the urinei and if they were anemic. They also were asked about previously diagnod heart dia.
闽教版The odds of having heart dia ro steadily as each of the kidney markers worned. More striking was the death data. At this age, few deaths are expected, and indeed just 191 people died during the study period. But tho who had both CKD and known heart dia had a threefold incread risk of death in a mere 2 1/2 years, mostly from heart problems. “This study is very much a wake-up call,”McCullough says.
