Abstract

Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is among the self-regulating threat directing to cardiovascular diseases (CVD). The threat to heart advances with the elevated intensity of kidney abnormality. Various insults like hypertension, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, and obesity accompanying the CKD causes premature and brisk development of CVD.  But a timely preventive measure may deaccelerate pathogenic development from silent to established disease. Therefore, the research was aimed to assess the Cardiac risk ratio in these patients prior to onset.

Methodology: The cross- sectional plan was executed in the period of 2024-2025. 100 CKD patients meeting inclusion requirement were inquired for demographics, through systematized questionnaire and blood samples were collected for kidney function tests & lipid profile assays following consent. Subjects were divided in three groups and cardiac risk ratio was estimated. Data was statistically analyzed at p<0.05 level of significance.

Results: The risk of cardiac disease was reported the most (approx. 60%) in diabetes, 43% in hypertensives, 34% in CKD counterparts without comorbidities.

Conclusion: the findings concluded that company of comorbidities precipitates cardiovascular disease likelihood and timely precautions may defer its onset refining overall health status and plummeting hospital visits.
