Optimizing Multidisciplinary Care for Patients With Worsening Kidney Function
An expert discusses the critical need for a holistic, multidisciplinary approach to prevent and manage interconnected cardiovascular, kidney and metabolic diseases.
A preventive cardiologist emphasizes the importance of understanding patients’ health holistically, recognizing that kidney health is closely linked to cardiovascular health.
- Many patients with chronic kidney disease also have or are at risk for heart disease, and vice versa.
- Current healthcare tends to treat these diseases late in their course and in isolation, which limits the potential for prevention.
A population health approach that focuses on early identification and prevention across kidney, heart and metabolic health is needed.
This requires breaking down silos between specialties and rethinking how care is delivered.
