The gradual loss of renal function related to cardiometabolic decline is the body’s response to inflammation, high blood pressure, obesity, tobacco and alcohol use, uncontrolled blood glucose, and other acquired (noncongenital) and lifestyle factors. Therapeutic options to preserve kidney function can slow disease progression and reduce burden.
