Key Takeaways for Improving CKD Diagnosis and Treatment in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes

In closing, what are the key takeaways for improving CKD diagnosis and treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes?

Now that we have many options in CKD, how should we think about sequencing these products in different patient types, for instance, to address CV and renal risk, in patients with earlier, less advanced disease as well those with later, advanced stages?

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Type 2 Diabetes patients necessitates early detection to prevent progression and associated complications. Identifying at-risk patients involves considering factors such as hypertension, family history of kidney disease, and elevated blood glucose levels. Screening tests include estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR). Early detection is crucial as it allows timely intervention, potentially slowing disease progression and reducing cardiovascular risks. CKD is a significant risk factor for heart failure, making early detection vital for comprehensive cardiovascular risk management.

Panelists discuss the key takeaways for improving chronic kidney disease (CKD) diagnosis and treatment in patients with type 2 diabetes, emphasizing how to effectively sequence treatment options based on patient types to address cardiovascular and renal risks in both early and advanced stages of the disease.
