We are thrilled to announce the launch of our Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic (CKM) Syndrome Prevention & Management Program here at Fareed Clinic — and we couldn't be more excited to bring this life-changing initiative to you and your family!

​

What Is CKM Syndrome?

Your heart, kidneys, and metabolism don't work in isolation — they are deeply connected. When one of these systems is under stress, the others can be affected too. CKM syndrome is a condition in which problems with metabolism (such as obesity, high blood sugar, or high cholesterol), kidney function, and heart health interact and worsen each other over time.

The good news? CKM syndrome is preventable, treatable, and even reversible — especially when caught early.

​

Why This Program Matters

Too often, conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, kidney disease, and heart disease are treated separately, by different doctors, at different times. Research now shows that these conditions are deeply interconnected, and the best outcomes come from addressing them together, early, and proactively.

That's exactly what this program is designed to do.

What You Can Expect

Our CKM Program offers a comprehensive, personalized approach to your health:

• Early Detection & Staging — Through routine screening of your weight, waist circumference, blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and kidney function, we identify your CKM stage early — before serious complications develop.

• Personalized Risk Assessment — Using advanced risk calculators, we estimate your individual risk for heart disease, heart failure, and kidney problems over the next 10 to 30 years, so we can tailor your care plan to your specific needs.

• Close, Ongoing Monitoring — You won't fall through the cracks. Our team tracks your progress with regular follow-up visits and lab work, adjusting your plan as needed to keep you on the best path forward.

• Lifestyle Support — Nutrition counseling, physical activity guidance, weight management strategies, sleep optimization, and stress reduction — because healthy habits are the foundation of CKM health.

• Cutting-Edge Treatments — When lifestyle changes alone aren't enough, we use the latest evidence-based medications that protect your heart, kidneys, and metabolism all at once — including SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1-based therapies, and more.

• A Dedicated Care Coordinator — You will have a point person on our team who coordinates all aspects of your CKM care, so your treatment plan is seamless, not scattered.

• Whole-Person Care — We also screen for factors in your daily life — like access to healthy food, financial stress, and transportation — that can affect your health, and we connect you with resources to help.

Who Should Join?

This program is for you if you have — or are at risk for — any of the following:

• Overweight or obesity

• Prediabetes or type 2 diabetes

• High blood pressure

• High cholesterol or triglycerides

• Chronic kidney disease

• Heart disease or heart failure

• A family history of diabetes, heart disease, or kidney disease

Even if you feel perfectly healthy today, early screening can uncover hidden risks and give you the power to act before problems arise.
