Chronic kidney disease (CKD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is associated with poorer health-related quality of life (HRQoL), significant disability, need for renal replacement therapy (dialysis) in end stage disease, and increased renal and CV-associated mortality. Unfortunately, this disease is often silent until late stage, displaying few early symptoms, and as a result, only about 10% of patients with mild or moderate disease even know that they have CKD. Literature shows that about 40% of patients with T2DM will go on to develop CKD. As the burden of diabetes-associated CVD, renal, and other complications have become more widely acknowledged, it has become clear that pharmacists are an untapped resource to make patients aware of guideline-recommended screenings that can detect CKD early, provide and make recommendations to providers to optimize drug therapy, and counsel patients. It is imperative that pharmacists remain up-to-date on current and emerging treatments that may delay CKD progression and reduce the risk of CV events.
In this CMEO BriefCase, expert faculty will utilize a patient case to show the pathophysiological features of CKD and assess new efficacy and safety data for current and emerging therapies for CKD in patients with T2DM with a goal of improving co-management strategies.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- 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 patients with T2DM.
