CKM (cardiovascular-renal-metabolic) syndrome is a medical condition that combines heart disease, kidney problems, diabetes and obesity into one powerful health threat[6]. Most adults in the US have risk factors associated with this little-known syndrome[1]. When these health problems overlap, the health hazard increases much more than when they occur alone[1]. Despite low awareness of CKM, people are eager to learn how the syndrome is diagnosed and treated[1]. Experts emphasize that understanding how these body systems work together could prevent serious, life-threatening events[1].
