Sažetak
In the last decade, we have witnessed a tendency of various medical professions to focus on an interdisciplinary approach, predominantly from the aspect of vascular health and based on advances in molecular physiology and genetics offering a translational approach not only in patient management but also for prevention of disease. The topical issue of obesity and the role of kidney in cardiovascular risk reduction have manifested through establishment of the Council on Kidney in Cardiovascular Disease at the American Heart Association to tackle the issue of obesity as part of translational medicine. Early recognition of the problem of obesity leads to reducing the sequels of not only kidney disease but also of the entire cardiovascular system, along with continuing treatment with interactive approach from pediatric through adult health care. It is crucial to change approach to the problem of obesity, especially because adipose cells are a hormonally active tissue secreting numerous cytokines that stimulate angiogenesis, thus causing systemic inflammatory event.
