- KDIGO Cardiovascular Comorbidity Risk Stratification: Explanation and Clinical Context
The KDIGO cardiovascular comorbidity risk stratification framework integrates albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) to assess cardiovascular risk in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). This approach emphasizes the importance of kidney function and albuminuria as significant factors influencing cardiovascular outcomes. By categorizing patients into risk levels—low, moderate, high, and very high—clinicians can tailor preventive strategies and interventions more effectively. This stratification aids in identifying individuals who may benefit from intensified monitoring and therapeutic interventions to mitigate cardiovascular events associated with CKD.
