Discussing on the treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease with Cardiovascular Diseases via Traditional Chinese Medicine Based on the Theory of'heart-kidney correlation'
Chronic kidney disease(CKD)and cardiovascular disease(CVD)are closely linked,and CVD is an important factor affecting the prognosis of CKD patients as well as the leading cause of death.CVD is caused by complications such as hy-peralgesia,inflammation,and aggravation of existing kidney disease.Delaying the progression of CKD and reducing the risk of CVD is the primary goal of treatment.Using the theory of"heart-kidney correlation",Traditional Chinese medicine provides a more comprehensive explanation of the physiopathological link between heart and kidney,providing a theoretical basis for the ear-ly prevention and treatment of CKD combined with CVD in TCM,with the aim of reducing heart and kidney damage and provi-ding a new direction for the treatment of CKD combined with CVD.
