Enhancing CKD Care in Type 2 Diabetes: Bridging Gaps in Diagnosis, Treatment, and Patient Outcomes

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 how health care providers can effectively utilize white papers and other tools in practice, as well as additional resources available for further learning about chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes management.
