Abstract

The incidence and prevalence of diabetes mellitus (DM) continue to grow markedly throughout The world, due primarily to The increase in type 2 DM (T2DM). Although improvements in DM and hypertension management have reduced The proportion of diabetic individuals who develop chronic kidney disease (CKD) and progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD), The sheer increase in people developing DM will have a major impact on dialysis and transplant needs. This KDIGO conference addressed a number of controversial areas in The management of DM patients with CKD, including aspects of screening for CKD with measurements of albuminuria and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR); defining treatment outcomes; glycemic management in both those developing CKD and those with ESRD; hypertension goals and management, including blockers of The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; and lipid management.
