Oxidative Stress in Non-Dialysis-Dependent Chronic Kidney Disease Patients.

Background: Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality at any stage of chronic kidney disease (CKD). Moreover, the high rate of cardiovascular mortality observed in these patients is associated with an accelerated atherosclerosis process that likely starts at the early stages of CKD. Thus, traditional and non-traditional or uremic-related factors represent a link between CKD and cardiovascular risk.

Advancing in the management of chronic kidney disease: the results of implementing a quick resolution consultation.

Background: Currently, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is understood as global important public health problem, a situation that requires a new approach.

Objectives: To show the results obtained after implementing a quick resolution consultation for CKD management.

Methods: Results were analysed during 6 month time period.
