Abstract: The incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) associated cardiomyopathy is high, which seriously affects the prognosis of patients. The comprehensive management of such patients is a challenge for both nephrologists and cardiologists. Based on the current status of diagnosis and treatment, this expert consensus is jointly written by an expert consensus writing committee composed of experts in nephrology, cardiology, pharmacy and radiology. Based on evidence-based medicine and clinical experience, this consensus systematically introduces the definition, risk factors, pathogenesis, diagnosis, screening, comprehensive management (lifestyle, blood pressure, anemia, chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder, renal replacement therapy) and prevention of CKD associated cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this expert consensus is to guide and standardize the management of CKD associated cardiomyopathy, and to improve the understanding and clinical diagnosis and treatment.

Key words: Chronic kidney disease, Chronic kidney disease associated cardiomyopathy, Cardiomyopathy, Left ventricular hypertrophy
