Abstract

Kidney disease remains a condition with an increasing incidence, high morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular events. The incidence of end-stage renal disease is expected to increase. Despite of the technical improvement, dialysis never achieved a full clearance of the blood dialysis. Therefore, the demand for new renoprotective measures has never been greater. Here, we report new strategies for preventing renal damage.

Keywords: Renoprotection, Acute renal disease, Chronic renal disease, Pathophysiology

Core Tip: Renoprotection presents a wide field of approaches, including a strict control of blood pressure, diabetes mellitus management and a balanced nutritional therapy. New diagnostic measures using isolated cells on bedside and novel therapeutic strategies are developed in terms the renoprotection and reducing of kidney disease progression resulting in a decreased cardiovascular risk for morbidity and/or mortality in chronic kidney disease patients.
