Early stage chronic kidney disease: a paradigm for diffuse fibrosis and clinical progression

Background Early stage chronic kidney disease (CKD) is an under recognised, highly prevalent cardiovascular (CV) risk factor. Despite a clustering of conventional atherosclerotic risk factors, there is a disproportionate rate of sudden cardiac death, heart failure and stroke rather than myocardial infarction. It is hypothesised that non-atherosclerotic processes, including left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy and fibrosis account for most of the excess CV risk.
