The aim of the present study is to investigate the prevalance of chronic kidney disease (CKD), of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and dyslipidemia in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). We conducted a prospective, controlled study involving 420 diabetic patients (120 T1DM, 300 T2DM) and investigate the following aspects: the presence of vascular complications (stroke, coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease), lipid profile (total cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, triglycerides), kidney function (glomerular filtration rate, albuminuria), blood pressure, HbA1C. The results that in diabetic patients with CKD there is an increased prevalence of CVD and of dislipidemia. Also we noticed a negative correlation between total cholesterol level and decease in eGFR in all patients, with or without CKD.

Organ damages, which contribute to the overall cardiovascular risk of hypertensive patients, should be early detected, prevented and treated. The study evaluated organ damage in a hypertensive study group with chronic kidney disease (CKD), compared with a study group of hypertension without CKD. Albuminuria was present in 41.2% and reduced estimated glomerular filtration rate [60 ml/min/m2 was present in 72.5% of hypertensive with CKD. The comparison of organ damage revealed in the CKD group a statistical significant higher prevalence of organ damage as follows: intima-media thickness ]0.9 mm in 39.9% vs 10.5%, carotid plaques in 28.2% vs 12.6%, left ventricular hypertrophy in 39.9% vs 31%, ankle brachial index in 6.2% vs 3.5%. Early detection and treatment of additional cardiovascular risk factors as dyslipidaemia and hyperglycaemia, that have significant role in the pathogenesis of organ damage, contribute to the better prevention of cardiovascular and renal complications in hypertension with CKD.
