Early CKM (Cardiorenal-Metabolic) Syndrome often unfolds quietly, presenting subtle clues that slip past routine evaluations. Patients may exhibit mild metabolic changes or borderline renal parameters long before overt cardiovascular disease emerges. Unfortunately, these early signs are frequently dismissed as isolated findings rather than interconnected pathophysiological markers. Recognizing this silent convergence early can transform outcomes, shifting care from reactive management to proactive prevention.
