Definition of kidney disease Chronic kidney disease (CKD): abnormalities of kidney structure or function, present for >3 months, with implications for health 1 Diabetic kidney disease (DKD): kidney disease that is specific to diabetes 2 • DKD is not to be confused with diabetic nephropathy (DN). DN is the presence of a single, well‑defined, identifiable kidney disease identified by progressive glomerular nephropathy directly related to diabetes 3 • DKD is a clinical diagnosis based on the measurement of e. GFR and albuminuria along with clinical characteristics of diabetes increasing the likelihood of kidney involvement, such as diabetes duration and presence of diabetic retinopathy 4 • In patients with T 2 D, other causes of CKD should be considered in cases with an absence of diabetic retinopathy, rapidly decreasing e. GFR, rapidly increasing albuminuria, presence of an abnormal urinary sediment or signs/symptoms of other systemic disease 2 CKD, chronic kidney disease; DKD, diabetic kidney disease; DN, diabetic nephropathy; e.

Guidelines recommend that kidney function is assessed based on glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria 1 Glomerular filtration rate usually declines to levels below the reference only upon extensive kidney damage and is a measure of kidney function. Because it is difficult to measure directly, an estimated value (e. GFR) is routinely calculated using e. GFR-estimating equations Albuminuria indicates increased glomerular permeability and is a measure of kidney damage. It can be quantified by measuring the urine albumin-tocreatinine ratio (UACR)1– 3 UACR = albumin concentration (mg) creatinine concentration (g) • UACR is the preferred method for albuminuria evaluation 1, 4* • Measured using a single spot urine test (morning sample preferred). Albuminuria can also be quantified by collecting 24 -hour urine 1, 5, 6 *See slide notes for the rationale for the preferential use of UACR; >30 mg/g or ≥ 3 mg/mmol creatinine is considered pathologic UACR 1 e.

ADA consensus recommendations for DKD screening Screening recommendations • “At least once a year, assess UACR and e. GFR in patients with T 1 D with duration of ≥ 5 years and in all patients with T 2 D regardless of treatment” • “Patients with urinary albumin >30 mg/g creatinine and/or an e. GFR <60 ml/min/1. 73 m 2 should be monitored twice annually to guide therapy” ADA, American Diabetes Association; DKD, diabetic kidney disease; e.

A multifactorial intervention strategy can slow the progression of DKD 1 • Blood glucose target is individualised for each patient, but generally Hb. A 1 c ~7%2 • Multifactorial and intensive glucose control may reduce kidney function decline 3, 4 • Blood pressure target <130/80 mm. Hg 5 • First-line antihypertensive drug treatment should be a once-daily, generic ACEi 5 • RAAS therapy with an ACEi or ARB is suggested 2 when albumin excretion ≥ 30 mg/g • Guidelines recommend that where CKD predominates, SGLT 2 inhibitors should be considered preferentially for patients with T 2 D, independently of Hb. A 1 c 6, 7 • LDL-C lowering recommended to reduce the risk of atherosclerotic events 2; statins should not be initiated in patients with T 2 D who are treated by dialysis 2 ACEi, angiotensin-converting-enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; CKD, chronic kidney disease; DKD, diabetic kidney disease; Hb.

Global clinical guidelines and societies now recommend the preferential use of SGLT 2 inhibitors in patients with CKD • For patients with T 2 D and CKD, SGLT 2 inhibitors have been shown to reduce the risk of CKD progression and are recommended*1– 4 • If the SGLT 2 inhibitor is not tolerated or e.

Summary • Kidney disease in patients with T 2 D is associated with reduced life expectancy and higher CV mortality rates • Systemic effects of hyperglycaemia in patients with T 2 D ultimately lead to nephron loss, albuminuria and progression of kidney disease • Guidelines recommend that kidney function of patients with T 2 D is assessed based on glomerular filtration rate and albuminuria • Evidence from SGLT 2 inhibitor and GLP-1 receptor agonist outcomes trials has led to major updates in clinical recommendations and guidelines – Global clinical guidelines and societies now recommend the preferential use of SGLT 2 inhibitors in patients with T 2 D and CKD, chronic kidney disease; CV, cardiovascular; GLP-1, glucagon-like peptide-1; SGLT 2, sodium-glucose co-transporter-2; T 2 D, type 2 diabetes 37
