Abstract
Both chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) are modern epidemics worldwide and have become a severe public health problem. Chronic kidney disease progression in T2D patients is linked to the need for dialysis or kidney transplantation and represents the risk factor predisposing to serious cardiovascular complications. In recent years, important progress has occurred in nephroprotective pharmacotherapy in CKD patients with T2D. In the current position paper, we described a nephroprotective approach in CKD patients with T2D based on the five following pillars: effective antihyperglycemic treatment, SGLT2 inhibitor or semaglutide, antihypertensive therapy, use of RASi (ARB or ACEi), and in selected patients, finerenone, as well as sodium bicarbonate in patients with metabolic acidosis. We thought that the current statement is comprehensive and up-to-date and addresses multiple pathways of nephroprotection in patients with CKD and T2D.
