Atherosclerosis is a condition where blood vessels narrow from fat build up and inflammation.   This leaves people with cardiovascular disease vulnerable to heart attack or stroke.   Currently, there is no treatment for inflammation from atherosclerosis. What if we could change that?   Learn about how investigational studies can help change the lives of African Americans living with atherosclerosis, chronic kidney disease, and heart disease.

1 in 3 individuals are at risk for kidney disease. One of the more common long-term complications of diabetes is kidney damage. People with chronic kidney disease (CKD) also have an increased risk for cardiovascular disease. Building on our portfolio of diagnostic offerings to empower individuals to be healthier, we are pleased to partner with Klinrisk to exclusively offer an algorithm-based test tool for risk stratification of kidney failure progression at early stages of CKD for at risk patients. It predicts the progress of kidney disease before kidney function is lost and equips health care providers with a powerful tool that assesses the risk of CKD progression so that patients at risk can reduce their chances of developing end-stage kidney disease. The model is built on a foundation of lab data from large national/international population health repositories with published data from health systems. Learn more at https://lnkd.in/gcZwzKeU
