Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) affects an estimated 29 million Americans and 463 million people worldwide, with that number projected to increase to 700 million by 2045. As approximately 40% of patients with T2DM develop chronic kidney disease (CKD), this has led to CKD being one of the most common diabetes complications, exposing patients to a 3-fold risk of cardiovascular death compared to those with T2DM alone. Also, most patients do not know that they have CKD until it is in an advanced stage. At minimal, yearly screening for eGFR and UACR in all patients with T2DM is recommended by the major kidney and diabetes guidelines to detect decline in the function of and damage to the kidneys; however, many patients do not receive these important screenings, resulting in delayed diagnosis and poorer outcomes for these unrecognized patients. The heavy burden of diabetes-associated CVD has become more widely acknowledged in recent years, leading to a shift in the T2DM management guidelines that includes a focus on early diagnosis and management of CKD in patients with T2DM.
The first episode of this CMEO BriefCase series on halting drivers of CKD progression will present a case study that will show when a patient with T2DM should undergo guideline-recommended screening with urine albumin excretion (UACR) and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) for early diagnosis of CKD.
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.
