Cardio-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM) refers to the coexistence of cardiovascular, renal, and metabolic disorders, including diabetes and obesity. Long studied primarily through the lens of cardiovascular risk, this syndrome is now increasingly recognized as a systemic condition affecting multiple organs throughout the body. It is already well established that CKM significantly increases the risk of mortality and disability related to heart disease and stroke. However, its consequences extend far beyond the cardiovascular system, with documented links to kidney failure, dementia, fatty liver disease, and obstructive sleep apnea.
