  • There are no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic kidney disease. (healthwise.net)
  • Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) suggest that intensive glycaemic control reduces progression of albuminuria, but effects on later DKD stages and cardiovascular outcomes are less clear. (bmj.com)

  • We observed a statistically significant independent relationship of high exposure to particulate matter with albuminuria in this cohort after controlling for pertinent risk factors," reported lead author Mary Ann McLaughlin, MD (Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai). (911families.org)
  • We investigated whether the combined changes in albuminuria and eGFR are more strongly associated with future risk of ESKD. (bvsalud.org)

  • In addition, guidelines recommend glucose‐lowering drugs, such as the relatively new sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, as well as glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs), to slow progression of kidney disease and reduce CV risk. (medpagetoday.com)
  • Studies, however, have demonstrated increased risk of adverse events such as hyperkalemia and AKI with these combination therapies, while not finding any additional benefit on mortality or kidney disease progression. (medpagetoday.com)
  • Of the estimated thirty million American adults with CKD, over 80% are unaware of the condition that increases risk for cardiovascular events and progression to kidney failure and death. (kidney.org)

  • Conversely, urinary metabolites changed by CSM at 6 months were moderately to strongly correlated with improvements in blood pressure, glycaemia, triglycerides, and albuminuria up to 24 months following treatment initiation, highlighting the potential involvement of these shifts in the urinary metabolomic profile in the metabolic and renoprotective effects of CSM.
