Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a growing global health emergency that affects an estimated 29 million Americans and 463 million people worldwide, with that number projected to increase to 700 million by 2045. Approximately 40% of patients with T2DM develop chronic kidney disease (CKD), exposing patients to a 3-fold risk of cardiovascular death compared with those who do not develop CKD. CKD is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD), tripling the risk of heart attack or stroke and shortening the life expectancy of patients with T2DM by up to 16 years. CKD in T2DM is also associated with the following: end stage renal disease (ESRD), poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL), significant disability, need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis), and increased renal and CV-associated mortality.
T2DM management guidelines have undergone a tremendous shift beyond A1C targets to a more comprehensive approach to reduce these complications. Pharmacists need up-to-date knowledge of current and emerging treatments that may delay CKD progression and reduce the risk of CV events.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Recognize when a patient should undergo guideline-recommended screening with uACR and eGFR for early diagnosis of CKD in patients with T2DM
- Describe the pathophysiological features of CKD giving rise to renal, CV, and mortality risks in patients with CKD and T2DM, despite optimized management according to current standards of care (SOC).
- Assess new efficacy and safety data for current and emerging therapies for CKD in patients with T2DM.
