Cardiovascular risk management is crucial in treating patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) due to the high prevalence of cardiovascular complications in this population. Effective management involves addressing traditional risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidemia, and diabetes, alongside CKD-specific factors like mineral and bone disorders. Integrating cardiovascular care into CKD management requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving nephrologists, cardiologists, and primary care providers. This integration can be achieved through coordinated care plans, regular monitoring of cardiovascular health, and patient education to ensure adherence to lifestyle modifications and pharmacotherapy.

Panelists discuss the role of cardiovascular risk management for patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) and how cardiovascular care can be effectively integrated into CKD management strategies.
