Abstract:
The introduction of " Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic" syndrome highlights the importance of prioritizing the prevention and treatment of cardio-renal-vascular complications early in diabetes diagnosis. However, it raises the question of whether reclassifying diseases with defined cause and established treatment into a broad 'syndrome’ with an unclear cause improves disease nomenclature. It would be prudent for the relevant authorities to provide clarification on the terminology used.
