![Kidney image. About 80% of chronic kidney disease patients actually die from cardiovascular complications. Although the link between these diseases is well established, the actual biological mechanism involved has not been fully understood. But researchers at Temple University recently uncovered a key piece to this connection, where chronic kidney disease and high-fat diets combine to trigger blood vessel inflammation. Their findings are published online in Redox Biology.[1]](https://cardiovascularbusiness.com/sites/default/files/styles/media_thumbnail/public/assets/articles/Kidney-Renal.jpg?itok=WXkKy2GO)
