Abstract

Kidney disease affects around 40% of people with type 2 diabetes and is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality.1 Management of diabetic kidney disease has traditionally focused on tight glycaemic control (in the early stages) and blood pressure control (with agents that inhibit the renin–angiotensin system).1 Despite this, most patients with diabetic kidney disease experience a gradual decline in kidney function, eventually progressing to end-stage kidney disease and an increased risk of cardiovascular events and mortality.
