Menopause and climacteric as a risk factor for renal and cardiovascular disease

Rizik za razvoj srčanožilne bolesti znatno se povećava u razdoblju menopauze, koja je udružena s ubrzanim razvojem vaskularne bolesti i osteoporoze. Razvoju srčanožilne bolesti pridonose povišen arterijski tlak, dislipidemija, preddijabetes i dijabetes, kao i kronična bubrežna bolest. Smanjenje bubrežne funkcije povećava ukupnu smrtnost i kardiovaskularnu smrtnost, neovisno o tradicionalnim čimbenicima rizika.The risk of cardiovascular disease increases significantly in menopause, which is associated with faster development of vascular disease and osteoporosis.
