CKM Health for Professionals
Cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic (CKM) syndrome is a health disorder made up of heart disease, kidney disease, diabetes and obesity, leading to poor health outcomes.
CKM syndrome includes people who are at risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) due to metabolic risk factors, chronic kidney disease or both and people with existing CVD and concurrent metabolic risk factors or chronic kidney disease.

Screening for Kidney Disease to Reduce CVD Risk
This toolkit enhances collaboration and communication across an interdisciplinary health care team and helps increase patient education, covering CKD causation, prevalence, diabetes-related risks, CVD prevention, and Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy.
Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Health Implementation Guide
One-third of U.S. adults have three or more CKM risk factors—heart, kidney, and metabolic disorders. Explore this toolkit for health care teams in primary care and specialties like nephrology, endocrinology, and cardiology.
Screening for Kidney Disease to Reduce CVD Risk
