Renal Damage in Metabolic Syndrome

This article presents a modern view of the concept of MS and CKD, discusses its main diagnostic criteria, issues of etiology and pathogenesis. The study of the relationship between MS and CKD suggests that the high prevalence of kidney dysfunction in the general population is largely determined by nephropathies of a metabolic nature, including those associated with obesity. Identification of risk factors and markers of poor prognosis in patients of this category seems extremely important in relation to the possibility of increasing the early diagnosis of the disease, and their timely elimination seems to be one of the main approaches to the comprehensive prevention of CKD in these patients.
