The interdependence has a multi-faceted nature, and are built according to the type of feedback. On the one hand, the kidney can act as a target organ for most of the risk factors such as arterial hypertension, coronary heart disease, diabetes, age, obesity associated with albuminuria. On the other hand, a decrease in renal function and pronounced albuminuria is an important cause of the accelerated development of the terminal stage of chronic kidney disease.
