Mitochondrial Dysfunction in the Cardio-Renal Axis

Abstract excerpt

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) frequently complicates chronic kidney disease (CKD). The risk of all-cause mortality increases from 20% to 500% in patients who suffer both conditions; this is referred to as the so-called cardio-renal syndrome (CRS).
