Two Kidney Week 2026 abstracts show a dose-response link between cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM) stage and chronic kidney disease (CKD), while primary care clinicians cite evidence and workflow barriers.

In more than 262,000 UK Biobank participants, a 5-marker cardiometabolic score was linked to graded risk at each step toward CKM multimorbidity.

Two IDWeek 2026 studies link influenza vaccination to fewer ICU admissions in older adults and fewer emergency visits in children.
