Beyond Blood Glucose and Blood Pressure Control in Type 2 Diabetes: Alternative Management Strategies to Prevent the Development and Progression of CKD

Chronic kidney disease associated with Type 2 diabetes is linked to significant increase in morbidity, reduced quality of life, and early death. Current guidelines recommend targets for the management of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia but there remains a residual risk of chronic kidne...

description Chronic kidney disease associated with Type 2 diabetes is linked to significant increase in morbidity, reduced quality of life, and early death. Current guidelines recommend targets for the management of hyperglycemia, hypertension, and dyslipidemia but there remains a residual risk of chronic kidney disease progression and adverse cardiovascular outcomes in patients with Type 2 diabetes. The 2022 consensus report from the American Diabetes Association and Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes support the use of sodium–glucose co-transporter 2 inhibitors and nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists to improve kidney and cardiovascular outcomes. Coordination between those working in the primary care setting and those in endocrinology and nephrology clinics may optimize the prevention of chronic kidney disease progression in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and primary care physicians play an important role in making timely patient referrals to kidney specialists. This article explores the use of novel therapies capable of reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease progression beyond what can be achieved with control of blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipid levels. It also discusses the importance of monitoring at-risk patients to facilitate early diagnosis and initiation of effective kidney-protective therapy.
