Combination Treatment Beneficial in Albuminuric CKD
7.4 year gain in event-free survival for 50-year-old patients with combo therapy with ACEi/ARB and SGLT2 inhibitors
Diagnosis & Disease Information
Personalized Screening for Kidney Disease Evaluated in Type 1 Diabetes
Compared with annual screening for urinary albumin, personalized screening can reduce time spent with undetected albuminuria, testing frequency
CKD, Albuminuria Risk Factors Identified in Childhood Cancer Survivors
Achieving normal blood pressure in childhood cancer survivors is “extremely important” for preventing CKD, according to investigators.
Albuminuria Predicts CKD Regression
Estimated glomerular filtration rate is a less reliable predictor of CKD regression, according to investigators.
eGFR Dip With Dapagliflozin Not Linked to Higher CKD Progression Risk
Understanding clinical characteristics associated with a decline in eGFR can help guide optimal use of SGLT2 inhibitors in clinical practice, according to investigators.
Study: Women Less Likely to Receive Appropriate CKD Care
Even women meeting objective criteria for CKD and nephrology referral were disadvantaged, according to investigators.
Cancer Risks Increase With Albuminuria
In a Dutch study, each doubling of urine albumin excretion was significantly associated with a 7% increase in overall cancer risk.
Atrasentan Renoprotective Across Albuminuria, Kidney Function Subgroups
Atrasentan lowers the risk for a composite of kidney failure, doubling of serum creatinine, or kidney death consistently across subgroups of urinary albumin-creatinine ratio and estimated glomerular filtration rate.
Lack of Regular Albuminuria Screening Leaves CKD Undetected
Despite similar risk for albuminuria with diabetes, albumin-to-creatinine ratio screening in patients with hypertension remains very low
Finerenone Provides CV, Renal Benefits in Diabetes Across CKD Spectrum
In FIDELITY, investigators pooled data from more than 13,000 patients from the FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD trials.
