Cardiorenal Medicine

Cardiorenal Medicine explores the mechanisms by which obesity and other metabolic abnormalities promote the pathogenesis and progression of heart and kidney disease within cardiorenal metabolic syndrome. It provides an interdisciplinary platform for translational research and clinical practice addressing interactions between metabolic abnormalities, cardiovascular dysfunction, kidney disease, and the obesity epidemic, for a multidisciplinary audience including nephrologists, cardiologists, nutritionists, endocrinologists, physiologists, and general internists.
