Target Audience
This activity was developed for nephrologists, endocrinologists, family physicians, physician assistants, nurse practitioners, pharmacists and other clinicians interested in the prevention and management of nephropathy in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Program Overview
Nephrologist and clinical trialist George Bakris, MD, reviews the burden of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) and provides guideline recommendations to properly screen and prevent cardiovascular disease events in patients with DKD. Fellow clinical trialist and diabetes expert John Buse, MD, PhD, discusses the pharmacology and prescribing considerations of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and highlights this class while reviewing new consensus reports. Dr. Buse teams up with Dr. Bakris to discuss the cardiorenal benefits of GLP-1 RAs evidenced by cardiovascular outcomes trials and recent meta-analyses. Primary care and internal medicine specialist John Anderson, MD, joins Drs. Bakris and Buse to lead the discussion of 2 cases of patients with DKD. Dr. Anderson concludes by discussing the importance of multidisciplinary management in optimizing care for our patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Describe the impact of diabetes on the progression of chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular disease.
- Differentiate glycemic and nonglycemic effects among glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs).
- Describe the efficacy, safety, and role of GLP-1 RAs in the treatment of adults with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease, and established atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease.
- Initiate evidence-based GLP-1 RA therapy in patients with T2D and CKD.
