Treatment for diabetic kidney disease has undergone a recent evolution with the approval and guideline recommendations of newer therapies for treatment, including sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and recently, non-steroidal selective mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). These therapies have the potential to reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk and DKD progression. As newer agents begin to take their place in practice and to further reduce renal risk in patients with diabetes, clinicians need to become aware of these therapies, their mechanism of action, and best practices for their use so they can integrate them into care of patients with DKD. This educational activity will also address recommended strategies to screen for and ensure an early diagnosis of DKD and discuss the impact of inflammation and fibrosis on CV risk. The goal of the activity is optimization of care of patients with or at risk for development of DKD.
