Let's Talk About CKD
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a common1 yet widely underrecognized and potentially deadly condition2,3 and is estimated to affect more than 160 million people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) worldwide.4,5,6 CKD progresses silently and unpredictably, with many symptoms not appearing until the disease is well-advanced.7,8
Regular testing for the earliest signs of kidney disease is essential to slow progression.9 The KDIGO, ADA, and EASD guidelines recommend testing both eGFR and UACR at least once a year in patients with CKD and T2D.9,10,11 What’s more, a multidisciplinary approach to care can improve outcomes for patients with CKD and T2D and help spot the earliest signs of disease progression.
Hear from leading experts below on how outcomes can be improved for patients living with CKD and T2D, alongside insights from their experience and best practices.
