Abstract

Today life expectancy of an Indian has increased from 41.38 years (in 1960) to 66 years (2013) [15] and prevalence of diabetes and hypertension is steadily rising. [...]like in western world prevalence of CKD is expected to rise with the passage of time. [16] Though a minority of CKD patients reach ESKD (0.15-0.20%/year over next 10-25 years), this population is 10-100 times vulnerable for cardiovascular (CV) events. [...]it is important to identify them and have preventive strategy for CV events in place.
