Connected Conditions

Connected Conditions helps you understand how your heart, kidneys, liver, and metabolism work together as one system. Conditions like chronic kidney disease, diabetes, obesity, and fatty liver disease often develop quietly and increase risk across the whole body. This course explains how these connections work, what key tests reveal early changes, and what your numbers mean. You will learn practical, manageable steps to protect your health, improve coordination with your healthcare team, and take action before problems worsen. Designed for patients and family caregivers, this course builds knowledge, confidence, and control so you can strengthen every part of your health.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Describe the physiological relationships between cardiac, renal, hepatic, and metabolic systems.
Identify cardiovascular risk factors in patients with co-existing CKD, diabetes, and MASH.
Describe how to recognize and detect CKD early to protect cardiovascular health.
Apply strategies to slow CKD progression and reduce cardiovascular risk simultaneously.
Explain how diabetes, obesity, and MASH interact to increase cardiometabolic risk.
Apply lifestyle and treatment strategies to improve metabolic and liver health.
Construct an integrated care plan addressing heart, kidney, liver, and metabolic health.
