00:00Chronic disease is a chronic non-communicable disease, very widespread, extremely widespread,
00:07little known because it has no symptoms, but today there is evidence of a very widespread diffusion,
00:14much more than other extremely well-known diseases, such as diabetes and even cancer.
00:23The social relevance of this disease is linked not only to its diffusion, but also to its evolution,
00:31in the sense that mortality related to this disease, unlike mortality from other chronic non-communicable diseases,
00:39which has decreased over the last few decades, for anachronistic disease it has instead increased.
00:45This coincides with an increase in the spread of some specific factors that act more
00:53both on the onset and on the evolution of the disease, such as diabetic nephritis, arterial hypertension and obesity.
01:04The latter in particular must be considered in all respects a risk factor, of onset,
01:10of anachronistic and progressive diseases and therefore it is very important in these conditions,
01:17especially in diabetes and obesity, early identification of the presence, coexistence
01:24of kidney disease and implement all the new therapeutic tools, especially pharmacological ones
01:32and possibly also of an ethno-nutritional nature to control the disease and reduce the risk
01:40or rather the risks associated with chronic kidney disease.
