Some thoughts about the “Consensus statement on smoking and vascular risk” from the Spanish Autonomous Societies of Hypertension and Vascular Risk

Smoking is a known preventable risk factor for vascular diseases. However, it is one of the most forgotten risks when we talk about its relationship with kidney disease. Following the publication of the "Consensus statement on smoking and vascular risk" promoted by the autonomous societies of hypertension and vascular risk of Spain, we consider that the nephrology community should be alerted about the deleterious effects of exposure to tobacco smoke and its consequences on renal damage. Something to take into account given the prevalence of smoking in our environment, approaching its prevention and treatment.
