Target Audience
CMHC West is designed for US-based healthcare professionals, including primary care clinicians (PCPs), nurse practitioners (NPs), physician assistants (PAs), endocrinologists, diabetologists, pharmacists, cardiologists, lipidologists, and other allied health professionals.
Program Overview
Kidney disease has been recognized as a complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) since the 1950s, developing in approximately 35% of patients with T2DM and affecting as many as 50% of patients with diabetes of more than 20 years’ duration. The prevalence of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the United States increased from 1988 to 2008 in proportion to the prevalence of diabetes. Among adults with diabetes, the prevalence of DKD has remained stable despite increased use of antihyperglycemic agents and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors.
Newer glucose-lowering agents appear to have glucose-independent effects on diabetic nephropathy and its progression. Recently published analyses of secondary objectives of three key studies, EMPA-REG, CANVAS-R, and LEADER, that assessed cardiovascular outcomes of SGLT2 inhibitors and a GLP-1 receptor agonist (RA) respectively, show positive effects on the development and progression of DKD.
This symposium will provide an overview of the renal effects of antiglycemic agents, particularly GLP-1 RAs and SGLT2 inhibitors. Experts will identify patients who are at the greatest risk for DKD, discuss the underlying physiology of DKD, provide an overview of the mechanisms of action of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RAs in relation to renal physiology, and how to effectively manage patients with T2DM and DKD based on the benefits and risks of SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RAs
