Yeh YK, Lin KH, Sheu WHH, Lo SH, Yeh YP, Huang CN, Hwu CM, Lu CH. Determinants of early chronic kidney disease in patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus: a retrospective study from the Taiwan Diabetes Registry. BMC Nephrol 2024; 25:133. [PMID: 38622535 PMCID: PMC11017602 DOI: 10.1186/s12882-024-03567-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Accepted: 03/28/2024] [Indexed: 04/17/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND We tried to identify the risk factor associate with early chronic kidney disease (CKD) in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients by utilizing real-world data from Taiwan Diabetes Registry. MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus recently diagnosed within 1 year. We divided the study participants into control group and early CKD group. Early CKD was defined as either CKD stage G1 with albuminuria, CKD stage G2 with albuminuria, or CKD stage G3a regardless of albuminuria (Urine-albumin to creatinine ratio (UACR) ≥ 3 mg/mmol). Control group was defined as CKD G1 or CKD G2 without albuminuria. Logistic regression analyses were used to compare differences in clinical characteristics between the subgroups. Linear regression models were employed to examine the factors predicting estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and UACR. RESULTS Total 2217 patients with recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus were included. 1545 patients were assigned to control group and 618 patients were assigned to the early CKD group. Age (odds ratio (OR) 1.215, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.122-1.316), systolic blood pressure (OR 1.203, 95% CI 1.117-1.296), glycated hemoglobin (OR 1.074, 95% CI 1.023-1.129) and triglyceride (OR 2.18, 95% CI 1.485-3.199) were found to be significant risk factors. Further, presence of bidirectional association between UACR and eGFR was found. CONCLUSIONS We reported factors associated with early CKD in recently diagnosed type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Variables that associated with eGFR and UACR were identified respectively, included a mutual influence between UACR and eGFR.

Prevalence and predictors of chronic kidney disease among type 2 diabetic patients worldwide, systematic review and meta-analysis. Diabetol Metab Syndr 2023; 15:245. [PMID: 38012781 PMCID: PMC10683270 DOI: 10.1186/s13098-023-01202-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/13/2023] [Accepted: 10/31/2023] [Indexed: 11/29/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Diabetes is a complicated, chronic condition that requires ongoing medical attention as well as multiple risk-reduction measures beyond glucose control. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is highly variable in different parts of the world due to various environmental, ethnic, socioeconomic, and rural-urban differences. Diabetes is the leading cause of CKD. This study aimed to estimate the global prevalence of CKD and its associated factors among type 2 diabetes(T2DM) patients, provide scientific evidence for a better understanding of the burden of CKD among diabetes mellitus type 2 patients, and design interventional strategies. METHODS Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) checklist guideline was followed for this review and meta-analysis. The electronic databases (Pub Med, Cochrane Library, Google Scholar, and grey literature) were searched to retrieve articles by using keywords. Joanna Briggs Institute Meta-Analysis of Statistics Assessment and Review Instrument was used to assess the quality of studies. The meta-analysis was conducted using STATA 17 software. The Meta logistic regression was computed to present the pooled prevalence and Odds ratio (OR) of the determinate factors with a 95% confidence interval (CI). RESULTS In this systematic review and meta-analysis 20 studies were done in 13 different countries. The pooled magnitude of chronic kidney disease among type 2 DM patients was 27% (95% CI 21%, 33%). The prevalence of chronic kidney disease differs across countries, with the maximum in the USA and the lowest in the United Arab Emirates. Patients with CKD have an elevated risk of severe renal and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Renin-angiotensin system inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists, and, more recently, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists are among the medications that have been demonstrated to slow the progression of CKD. In this systematic review and meta-analysis increased age, obesity, having a history of type 2 diabetes mellitus, smoking history, presence of hypertension, and cardiac heart disease were factors significantly associated with the presence of chronic kidney disease among type 2 diabetic patients. CONCLUSIONS The prevalence of chronic kidney disease among type 2 diabetes mellitus patients was high based on the included 20 articles. The review reported that old age, hypertension, cardiac disease, smoking, obesity, and duration of diabetes mellitus was predictor variable for chronic kidney disease among type 2 diabetic patients. Therefore, in order to lower the morbidity and mortality from chronic kidney disease among type 2 diabetic patients, it is advised to develop both preventive and curative intervention strategies, such as raising awareness, creating a supportive environment, and prescribing appropriate medication at an early stage.

Deficiencies in the Recognition and Reporting of Chronic Kidney Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus; A Hungarian Nationwide Analysis. Int J Public Health 2023; 68:1606151. [PMID: 37705761 PMCID: PMC10496514 DOI: 10.3389/ijph.2023.1606151] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/17/2023] [Indexed: 09/15/2023] Open
Abstract
Objectives: Recognition of chronic kidney disease (CKD) is crucial in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We conducted a nationwide epidemiological study to evaluate T2DM-associated CKD in Hungary between 2016 and 2020. Methods: Annual incidence and prevalence rates of registered CKD amongst all pharmacologically treated T2DM patients were analyzed in different age-groups by the central database of the Hungarian Health Insurance Fund Management. Statistical methods included Poisson regression, Bonferroni test, Chi-square test. Results: We found 499,029 T2DM patients and 48,902 CKD patients in 2016, and 586,075 T2DM patients and 38,347 CKD patients in 2020. The majority of all prevalent T2DM and CKD patients were older (aged 60-69 years: 34.1% and 25.8%; ≥70 years: 36.1% and 64.4%, respectively). The annual incidence of T2DM and incidence rates of CKD in T2DM decreased in 2017-2020 (p < 0.001). The annual prevalence of T2DM increased (p < 0.01), the prevalence rates of CKD in T2DM were low and decreased from 9.8% to 6.5% in 2016-2020 (p < 0.001). Conclusion: Incidence and prevalence of T2DM-associated CKD decreased significantly in Hungary in 2016-2020. Lower prevalence rates of CKD may suggest under-recognition and/or under-reporting.

Mitochondrial DNA Changes in Blood and Urine Display a Specific Signature in Relation to Inflammation in Normoalbuminuric Diabetic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus Patients. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:9803. [PMID: 37372951 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24129803] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/05/2023] [Revised: 06/05/2023] [Accepted: 06/05/2023] [Indexed: 06/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Mitochondrial dysfunction is an important mechanism contributing to the development and progression of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) levels in blood and urine were evaluated in relation to podocyte injury and proximal tubule (PT) dysfunction, as well as to a specific inflammatory response in normoalbuminuric DKD. A total of 150 type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) patients (52 normoalbuminuric, 48 microalbuminuric, and 50 macroalbuminuric ones, respectively) and 30 healthy controls were assessed concerning the urinary albumin/creatinine ratio (UACR), biomarkers of podocyte damage (synaptopodin and podocalyxin), PT dysfunction (kidney injury molecule-1 (KIM-1) and N-acetyl-β-(D)-glucosaminidase (NAG)), and inflammation (serum and urinary interleukins (IL-17A, IL-18, and IL-10)). MtDNA-CN and nuclear DNA (nDNA) were quantified in peripheral blood and urine via qRT-PCR. MtDNA-CN was defined as the ratio of the number of mtDNA/nDNA copies via analysis of the CYTB/B2M and ND2/B2M ratio. Multivariable regression analysis provided models in which serum mtDNA directly correlated with IL-10 and indirectly correlated with UACR, IL-17A, and KIM-1 (R2 = 0.626; p < 0.0001). Urinary mtDNA directly correlated with UACR, podocalyxin, IL-18, and NAG, and negatively correlated with eGFR and IL-10 (R2 = 0.631; p < 0.0001). Mitochondrial DNA changes in serum and urine display a specific signature in relation to inflammation both at the podocyte and tubular levels in normoalbuminuric type 2 DM patients.

An analysis of DPV and DIVE registry patients with chronic kidney disease according to the finerenone phase III clinical trial selection criteria. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2023; 22:108. [PMID: 37158855 PMCID: PMC10169333 DOI: 10.1186/s12933-023-01840-5] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/09/2023] [Accepted: 04/25/2023] [Indexed: 05/10/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The FIDELIO-DKD and FIGARO-DKD randomized clinical trials (RCTs) showed finerenone, a novel non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA), reduced the risk of renal and cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Using RCT inclusion and exclusion criteria, we analyzed the RCT coverage for patients with T2DM and CKD in routine clinical practice in Germany. METHODS German patients from the DPV/DIVE registries who were ≥ 18 years, had T2DM and CKD (an estimated glomerular filtration rate [eGFR] < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 OR eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m2 and albuminuria [≥ 30 mg/g]) were included. RCT inclusion and exclusion criteria were then applied, and the characteristics of the two populations compared. RESULTS Overall, 65,168 patients with T2DM and CKD were identified from DPV/DIVE. Key findings were (1) Registry patients with CKD were older, less often male, and had a lower eGFR, but more were normoalbuminuric vs the RCTs. Cardiovascular disease burden was higher in the RCTs; diabetic neuropathy, lipid metabolism disorders, and peripheral arterial disease were more frequent in the registry. CKD-specific drugs (e.g., angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors [ACEi] and angiotensin receptor blocker [ARBs]) were used less often in clinical practice; (2) Due to the RCT's albuminuric G1/2 to G4 CKD focus, they did not cover 28,147 (43.2%) normoalbuminuric registry patients, 4,519 (6.9%) albuminuric patients with eGFR < 25, and 6,565 (10.1%) patients with microalbuminuria but normal GFR (≥ 90 ml/min); 3) As RCTs required baseline ACEi or ARB treatment, the number of comparable registry patients was reduced to 28,359. Of these, only 12,322 (43.5%) registry patients fulfilled all trial inclusion and exclusion criteria. Registry patients that would have been eligible for the RCTs were more often male, had higher eGFR values, higher rates of albuminuria, more received metformin, and more SGLT-2 inhibitors than patients that would not be eligible. CONCLUSIONS Certain patient subgroups, especially non-albuminuric CKD-patients, were not included in the RCTs. Although recommended by guidelines, there was an undertreatment of CKD-patients with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers. Further research into patients with normoalbuminuric CKD and a wider prescription of RAS blocking agents for CKD patients in clinical practice appears warranted.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Albuminuria, or elevated urinary albumin-to-creatine ratio (UACR), is a biomarker for chronic kidney disease that is routinely monitored in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Head-to-head comparisons of novel antidiabetic drugs on albuminuria outcomes remain limited. This systematic review qualitatively compared the efficacy of novel antidiabetic drugs on improving albuminuria outcomes in patients with T2D. METHODS We searched the MEDLINE database until December 2022 for Phase 3 or 4 randomized, placebo-controlled trials that evaluated the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors on changes in UACR and albuminuria categories in patients with T2D. RESULTS Among 211 records identified, 27 were included, which reported on 16 trials. SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 RAs decreased UACR by 19-22% and 17-33%, respectively, versus placebo (P < 0.05 for all studies) over median follow-up of ≥ 2 years; DPP-4 inhibitors showed varying effects on UACR. Compared with placebo, SGLT2 inhibitors decreased the risk for albuminuria onset by 16-20% and for albuminuria progression by 27-48% (P < 0.05 for all studies) and promoted albuminuria regression (P < 0.05 for all studies) over median follow-up of ≥ 2 years. Evidence on changes in albuminuria categories with GLP-1 RA or DPP-4 inhibitor treatment were limited with varying outcome definitions across studies and potential drug-specific effects within each class. The effect of novel antidiabetic drugs on UACR or albuminuria outcomes at ≤ 1 year remains poorly studied. CONCLUSION Among the novel antidiabetic drugs, SGLT2 inhibitors consistently improved UACR and albuminuria outcomes in patients with T2D, with continuous treatment showing long-term benefit.

Abstract
Background Patients with comorbid type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and renal disease, particularly those treated with insulin, often require complex pharmacological treatment and management of other diabetes complications. Aims To assess the achievement of metabolic targets and compare the current management of renal service attenders with insulin- and noninsulin-treated T2DM. Methods Single-centre retrospective cross-sectional study involving medical record review of patients with T2DM aged ≥18 years who visited a metropolitan renal outpatient clinic in 2017. Univariable analysis and multivariable logistic regression were used to identify factors associated with insulin treatment. Results Among 268 patients (45.5% insulin-treated), mean HbA1c was higher in insulin-treated vs. noninsulin-treated patients (8.0 ± 1.8% (64 mmol/mol) vs. 6.8 ± 1.2% (51 mmol/mol), p < 0.001). Significantly fewer insulin-treated patients had HbA1c ≤ 7.0% (53 mmol/mol; 31.8% vs. 69.3%, p < 0.001). More insulin-treated patients had ischaemic heart disease (46.7% vs. 33.6%, p = 0.028), diabetic foot disease (15.6% vs. 4.8%, p = 0.003), retinopathy (40.2% vs. 11.0%, p < 0.001), and emergency attendance for severe hypoglycaemia (3.8% vs. 0% p = 0.042). Insulin treatment was more associated with chronic kidney disease stages 4-5 (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 2.41, 95% CI 1.07-5.43), retinopathy (aOR 3.10, 95% CI 1.04-9.27), and podiatry review (aOR 5.06, 95% CI 1.20-21.38). Only 38 (14.2%) individuals were seen by a colocated public multidisciplinary diabetes service in 2017. Conclusions Renal clinic attenders with T2DM, particularly if insulin-treated, remained at increased risk of diabetes-related complications, including severe hypoglycaemia, with limited input from the colocated hospital diabetes team. Approaches to increase coordination of diabetes care among renal patients should be investigated.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this clinical practice guideline is to provide updated and new evidence-based recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes mellitus to clinicians, diabetes-care teams, other health care professionals and stakeholders, and individuals with diabetes and their caregivers. METHODS The American Association of Clinical Endocrinology selected a task force of medical experts and staff who updated and assessed clinical questions and recommendations from the prior 2015 version of this guideline and conducted literature searches for relevant scientific papers published from January 1, 2015, through May 15, 2022. Selected studies from results of literature searches composed the evidence base to update 2015 recommendations as well as to develop new recommendations based on review of clinical evidence, current practice, expertise, and consensus, according to established American Association of Clinical Endocrinology protocol for guideline development. RESULTS This guideline includes 170 updated and new evidence-based clinical practice recommendations for the comprehensive care of persons with diabetes. Recommendations are divided into four sections: (1) screening, diagnosis, glycemic targets, and glycemic monitoring; (2) comorbidities and complications, including obesity and management with lifestyle, nutrition, and bariatric surgery, hypertension, dyslipidemia, retinopathy, neuropathy, diabetic kidney disease, and cardiovascular disease; (3) management of prediabetes, type 2 diabetes with antihyperglycemic pharmacotherapy and glycemic targets, type 1 diabetes with insulin therapy, hypoglycemia, hospitalized persons, and women with diabetes in pregnancy; (4) education and new topics regarding diabetes and infertility, nutritional supplements, secondary diabetes, social determinants of health, and virtual care, as well as updated recommendations on cancer risk, nonpharmacologic components of pediatric care plans, depression, education and team approach, occupational risk, role of sleep medicine, and vaccinations in persons with diabetes. CONCLUSIONS This updated clinical practice guideline provides evidence-based recommendations to assist with person-centered, team-based clinical decision-making to improve the care of persons with diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Background
Commonly prescribed diabetic medications such as metformin and sulfonylurea may be associated with different arrhythmogenic risks. This study compared the risk of ventricular arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death between metformin and sulfonylurea users in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Methods and Results
Patients aged ≥40 years who were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or prescribed antidiabetic agents in Hong Kong between January 1, 2009, and December 31, 2009, were included and followed up until December 31, 2019. Patients prescribed with both metformin and sulfonylurea or had prior myocardial infarction were excluded. The study outcome was a composite of ventricular arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death. Metformin users and sulfonylurea users were matched at a 1:1 ratio by propensity score matching. The matched cohort consisted of 16 596 metformin users (47.70% men; age, 68±11 years; mean follow‐up, 4.92±2.55 years) and 16 596 sulfonylurea users (49.80% men; age, 70±11 years; mean follow‐up, 4.93±2.55 years). Sulfonylurea was associated with higher risk of ventricular arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death than metformin hazard ratio (HR, 1.90 [95% CI, 1.73–2.08]). Such difference was consistently observed in subgroup analyses stratifying for insulin usage or known coronary heart disease.
Conclusions
Sulfonylurea use is associated with higher risk of ventricular arrhythmia or sudden cardiac death than metformin in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Wang M, Liu X, Wang Z, Xu Q. The extract of Polygala fallax Hemsl. slows the progression of diabetic nephropathy by targeting TLR4 anti-inflammation and MMP-2/9-mediated anti-fibrosis in vitro. PHYTOMEDICINE : INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF PHYTOTHERAPY AND PHYTOPHARMACOLOGY 2022; 104:154251. [PMID: 35717806 DOI: 10.1016/j.phymed.2022.154251] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/29/2021] [Revised: 05/15/2022] [Accepted: 06/05/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Polygala fallax Hemsl. is a plant that is commonly used as a folk medicine by Guangxi ethnic minorities, and it is also widely used in the clinical treatment of chronic diseases in China. The extract of P. fallax (EPF) contains key biologically active components from the roots and stems. However, the role of P. fallax or EPF in diabetic nephropathy (DN) is unclear. PURPOSE This study aimed to investigate the effects and mechanisms of EPF on high glucose (HG)-induced human glomerular mesangial cell (HMC) injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and apoptosis in vitro. METHODS For the in vitro study, MTT and ELISA assays were performed with HG-treated HMCs, as well as MMP, Hoechst, flow cytometry, qRT-PCR, and western blot analyses. The expression of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway, along with its downstream inflammatory, apoptosis, and fibrosis factors, was measured. The expression of the TLR4/NF-κB pathway and its downstream inflammatory factors were also measured after the addition of TLR4 inhibitors. RESULTS Our results suggest that EPF can reverse the hyperproliferation and apoptosis of HMCs induced by HG. In addition, the extract inhibited the increase in inflammatory factors IL-6, TNF-α, IL-1β, MCP-1, and IL-18 in cells treated with HG. The mRNA and protein expression of TLR4, MyD88, NF-κB, Col IV, FN, MMP-9, and MMP-2 were downregulated by EPF. In addition, EPF significantly reduced the loss of MMP and the upregulation of Bcl-2/Bax mRNA and protein levels after HG treatment. CONCLUSION These results demonstrated that EPF protects against diabetes-induced renal injury in vitro. EPF protected against HG-induced HMCs proliferation, apoptosis, fibrosis, and inflammation likely via inhibition of TLR4-dependent NF-κB signaling. This herbal extract may also be a novel treatment for DN.

Evaluation of Self-care Activities and Quality of Life in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Treated With Metformin Using the 2D Matrix Code of Outer Drug Packages as Patient Identifier: the DePRO Proof-of-Concept Observational Study. JMIR Diabetes 2022; 7:e31832. [PMID: 35608887 PMCID: PMC9175102 DOI: 10.2196/31832] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/26/2021] [Revised: 03/09/2022] [Accepted: 03/11/2022] [Indexed: 12/22/2022] Open
Abstract
Background The use of digital technology to assess patients remotely can reduce clinical study costs. In the European Union, the 2D matrix code on prescription drug packaging serves as a unique identifier of a given package of medication, and thus, also of the patient receiving that medication. Scanning of the 2D matrix code may therefore allow remote patient authentication in clinical studies. Objective The aim of the DePRO study was to assess the feasibility of a fully digital data-capture workflow, the authentication of participants via drug packaging 2D matrix codes, in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who use metformin. The primary objective was to describe the self-care activities of these patients. Secondary objectives were to evaluate (1) the self-reported health status of these patients, (2) the association of self-care activities with demographics and disease characteristics, and (3) the usability of the my ePRO app. Methods DePRO was an observational, multicenter, cross-sectional, digital, and patient-driven study conducted in Germany from June to December 2020. Adult patients prescribed metformin were invited to participate via their pharmacist or a medication tracker app. Participants downloaded the my ePRO app onto their own mobile device, scanned the 2D matrix code on their metformin package for registration and authentication, and provided informed consent via an electronic form. They were then able to complete a study-specific questionnaire on demographics and clinical characteristics, the German version of the Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities measure (SDSCA-G), the Diabetes Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire (DTSQ), and the EQ-5D-5L. The patients conducted the study without support from a health care professional. Statistical analyses were exploratory and descriptive. Results In total, 3219 patients were invited to participate. The proportion of patients giving consent was greater among those invited by pharmacists (19/217, 8.8%) than among those invited via the medication tracker app (13/3002, 0.4%). Of the 29 patients eligible for analysis, 28 (97%) completed all study questionnaires. Most of the patients (23/29, 79%) were aged <60 years, and 59% (17/29) were male. The patients spent a mean total of 3.5 (SD 1.3) days out of 7 days on self-care activities (SDSCA-G). Most patients (24/29, 83%) were satisfied to extremely satisfied with their current treatment (DTSQ). Events of perceived hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia were reported by 20 of 29 (69%) patients. The best possible health status (EQ-5D-5L) was reported by 18 of 28 (64%) patients. Age was positively correlated with time spent on general and specific diet (Spearman coefficient 0.390 and 0.434, respectively). Conclusions The DePRO study demonstrates the feasibility of fully digital authentication (via 2D matrix codes on drug packaging) and data capture in patients with T2DM. Personal invitations yielded higher recruitment rates than remote invitations via the medication tracker app. A high questionnaire completion rate was realized, based on completion by 28 out of 29 patients.

Abstract
AIMS To characterize clinical profiles, prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD), and treatment patterns in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and heart failure (HF) patients in Finnish primary care. METHODS A total of 1385 patients (1196 with T2D, 50 with HF, and 139 with T2D and HF) in 60 Finnish primary care centers were recruited to this cross-sectional study. Data on demographic and clinical characteristics, laboratory measurements, and medications were collected retrospectively from medical records. T2D patients were classified according to their risk of cardiovascular (CV) events as very high-risk (62%) and other patients (38%). RESULTS Of the T2D patients, 10% (139/1335) had a diagnosis of HF and 42% (457/1090) had stage 3-5 CKD and/or albuminuria based on laboratory measurement. Of the HF patients, 74% (139/189) had T2D and 78% (114/146) had stage 3-5 CKD and/or albuminuria. Metformin was the most frequently used medication in both very high-risk patients (74%) and other patients (86%). SGLT2 inhibitors and/or GLP-1 analogues were used by 37% of very high-risk patients compared to 42% in other patients. CONCLUSIONS The majority of T2D patients in Finnish primary care are at very high risk of cardiovascular events. However, the implementation of treatments with proven cardioprotective effects in very high-risk patients is currently suboptimal.

Renal fat fraction is significantly associated with the risk of chronic kidney disease in patients with type 2 diabetes. Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) 2022; 13:995028.

Abstract
BACKGROUNDS Ectopic fat deposition is closely related to chronic kidney disease (CKD). Currently, there are few population studies that have been conducted to determine the relationship between renal parenchyma fat deposition and the risk of CKD among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Therefore, we employed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect renal parenchyma fat content in individuals with T2DM, expressed as renal fat fraction (FF), to explore whether renal FF is an important risk factor for CKD in patients with T2DM. METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 189 subjects with T2DM were enrolled. CKD was defined as the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)<60 mL/min/1.73m2. Measurement of the renal FF was performed on a 3.0-T MRI (MAGNETOM Skyra, Siemens, Erlangen, Germany). Binary logistic regression was used to determine the association between tertiles of renal FF and risk of CKD. Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves were constructed to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of renal FF in detecting CKD in T2DM patients. RESULTS The patients were divided into three groups according to tertiles of the renal FF level (2.498 - 7.434). As renal FF increases, patients tend to be older, and more abdominally obese, with a decreased eGFR (p<0.05). After adjustment for potential confounders, patients in the highest tertile of renal FF had a significantly increased risk of CKD than those in the lowest tertile (odds ratio (OR) = 3.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.12 - 14.09, p = 0.032), and the area under the ROC curve for this model was 0.836 (0.765-0.907). CONCLUSIONS The renal FF is significantly independently associated with CKD in patients with T2DM.

Abstract
In recent decades, the prevalence of diabetic kidney disease has remained stable and appears to be a wide heterogeneity. Normoalbuminuric diabetes with renal insufficiency, which is characterized by a decline in the glomerular filtration rate in the absence of albuminuria, has been identified as an albuminuria-independent phenotype of diabetic kidney disease. Epidemiological data demonstrate that normoalbuminuric phenotype is prevalent. Compared to albuminuric phenotype, normoalbuminuric phenotype has distinct clinical characteristics and a wide heterogeneity of pathological features. Currently, the pathogenesis of normoalbuminuric phenotype remains unclear. Additionally, the flow of diagnosing normoalbuminuric phenotype is not perfect. In this article, we review the latest studies addressing the epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and pathology of normoalbuminuric phenotype. Based on the studies of clinical features and renal histopathologic changes, we attempt to propose an underlying pathogenesis model and a flow chart for diagnosing normoalbuminuric phenotype.

Diabetic kidney disease: new clinical and therapeutic issues.

Abstract
Aims This joint document of the Italian Diabetes Society and the Italian Society of Nephrology reviews the natural history of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the light of the recent epidemiological literature and provides updated recommendations on anti-hyperglycemic treatment with non-insulin agents. Data Synthesis Recent epidemiological studies have disclosed a wide heterogeneity of DKD. In addition to the classical albuminuric phenotype, two new albuminuria-independent phenotypes have emerged, i.e., “nonalbuminuric renal impairment” and “progressive renal decline”, suggesting that DKD progression toward end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) may occur through two distinct pathways, albuminuric and nonalbuminuric. Several biomarkers have been associated with decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) independent of albuminuria and other clinical variables, thus possibly improving ESKD prediction. However, the pathogenesis and anatomical correlates of these phenotypes are still unclear. Also the management of hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and impaired renal function has profoundly changed during the last two decades. New anti-hyperglycemic drugs, which do not cause hypoglycemia and weight gain and, in some cases, seem to provide cardiorenal protection, have become available for treatment of these individuals. In addition, the lowest eGFR safety thresholds for some of the old agents, particularly metformin and insulin secretagogues, have been reconsidered. Conclusions The heterogeneity in the clinical presentation and course of DKD has important implications for the diagnosis, prognosis, and possibly treatment of this complication. The therapeutic options for patients with type 2 diabetes and impaired renal function have substantially increased, thus allowing a better management of these individuals.

Abstract
AIMS To describe the characteristics and antidiabetic treatment among type 2 diabetes patients according to the clinical conditions prioritized in the Spanish 2020 RedGDPS (Primary Care Diabetes Study Groups Network) therapeutic algorithm: obesity, older than 75 years, chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, and heart failure. METHODS Retrospective, cross-sectional study. Clinical characteristics, the use of antidiabetic drugs and the KDIGO renal risk categories at 31.12.2016 were retrieved from the SIDIAP (Information System for Research in Primary Care) database (Catalonia, Spain). RESULTS From a total of 373,185 type 2 diabetes patients, 37% were older than 75 years, 45% obese, 33% had chronic kidney disease, 23.2% cardiovascular disease and 6.9% heart failure. Insulin was more frequently prescribed in chronic kidney disease, cardiovascular disease and heart failure whereas Sodium-Glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors and Glucagon Like Peptide 1 receptor agonists were scarcely prescribed (2.6% and 1.4%, respectively). Among patients with severe renal failure, contraindicated drugs like metformin (16%) and sulfonylureas (6.1%) were still in use. The 2012 KDIGO renal risk categories distribution was: Low: 60.9%, Moderate: 21.6%, High: 9.8% and Very high: 7.7%. CONCLUSIONS Almost 80% of our T2DM patients meet one of the five clinical conditions that should be considered for treatment individualization. Importantly, a relevant number of patients with severe renal failure were found to use contraindicated drugs.

Guidelines adherence in the prevention and management of chronic kidney disease in patients with diabetes mellitus on the background of recent European recommendations - a registry-based analysis. BMC Nephrol 2021; 22:184.

Abstract
Background Recent European Society of Cardiology (ESC)/European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD) guidelines provide recommendations for detecting and treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) in diabetic patients. We compared clinical practice with guidelines to determine areas for improvement. Methods German database analysis of 675,628 patients with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, with 134,395 included in this analysis. Data were compared with ESC/EASD recommendations. Results This analysis included 17,649 and 116,747 patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively. The analysis showed that 44.1 and 49.1 % patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes, respectively, were annually screened for CKD. Despite anti-diabetic treatment, only 27.2 % patients with type 1 and 43.5 % patients with type 2 achieved a target HbA1c of < 7.0 %. Use of sodium-glucose transport protein 2 inhibitors (1.5 % type 1/8.7 % type 2 diabetes) and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (0.6 % type 1/5.2 % type 2 diabetes) was limited. Hypertension was controlled according to guidelines in 41.1 and 67.7 % patients aged 18–65 years with type 1 and 2 diabetes, respectively, (62.4 vs. 68.4 % in patients > 65 years). Renin angiotensin aldosterone inhibitors were used in 24.0 and 40.9 % patients with type 1 diabetes (micro- vs. macroalbuminuria) and 39.9 and 47.7 %, respectively, in type 2 diabetes. Conclusions Data indicate there is room for improvement in caring for diabetic patients with respect to renal disease diagnosis and treatment. While specific and potentially clinically justified reasons for non-compliance exist, the data may serve well for a critical appraisal of clinical practice decisions.

Abstract
AIMS Nephropathy is a complication of type 2 diabetes, with increased albuminuria and reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) as biomarkers. Rates of progression to end-stage-renal disease are variable among patients. In this study we have examined the GFR decline in newly diagnosed T2DM. METHODS A cohort of 410 patients with newly diagnosed T2DM and with at least four serum creatinine during the follow-up period were recruited. A linear model was used to calculate the decline in eGFR. A multivariable logistic model was used to identify independent predictors of rapid eGFR decline. RESULTS Average follow-up was 12.4 years. The eGFR change was -0.80 ± 2.23 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year. Patients were arbitrarily stratified into rapid decliners (≤-3.0 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year), moderate decliners (-2.9/-1 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year) and slow/no decliners (>-1.0 ml/min/1.73 m2 per year). Subjects in the 3 categories were 11.4%, 27.3%, and 61.3%, respectively. Albuminuria was the stronger predictor of rapid eGFR decline. CONCLUSIONS A rapid decline in eGFR occurs in approximately 1 out of 10 newly diagnosed subjects. This rapid decline can be predicted by widely accessible clinical features, such as albuminuria. Identification of rapid decliners may help to reduce progression toward advanced stages of nephropathy.

The additive effects of kidney dysfunction on left ventricular function and strain in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients verified by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Cardiovasc Diabetol 2021; 20:11.

Abstract
Background Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are susceptible to coexisted with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which may increase cardiovascular mortality in these patients. The present study aimed to verify whether CKD aggravates the deterioration of left ventricular (LV) myocardial strain in T2DM patients and to explore the risk factors associated with LV strain. Materials and methods In total, 105 T2DM patients and 52 healthy individuals were included and underwent cardiac magnetic resonance examination. Patients were divided into the following two groups: T2DM with CKD (n = 33) and T2DM without CKD (n = 72). The baseline clinical and biochemical indices were obtained from hospital records before the cardiac magnetic resonance scan. Cine sequences, including long-axis views (2-chamber and 4-chamber) and short-axis views, were acquired. LV function and global strain parameters were measured based on cine sequences and compared among three groups. Pearson’s analysis was performed to investigate the correlation between LV strain parameters and clinical indices. Multiple linear regression analysis was used to identify the independent indicators of LV strain. Results Compared with normal controls, T2DM patients without CKD had a significantly decreased magnitude of peak strain (PS; radial), peak systolic strain rate (radial), and peak diastolic strain rate (radial and circumferential) (all P < 0.05). Furthermore, T2DM patients with CKD displayed markedly lower magnitudes of PS (radial, circumferential, and longitudinal) and peak diastolic strain rate (circumferential and longitudinal) than both normal controls and T2DM patients without CKD (all P < 0.05). The eGFR was positively associated with the magnitude of PS (R = radial, 0.392; circumferential, 0.436; longitudinal, 0.556), while uric acid was negatively associated with the magnitude of PS (R = radial, − 0.361; circumferential, − 0.391; longitudinal, − 0.460) (all P < 0.001). Multivariable linear regression indicated that the magnitude of PS was independently associated with eGFR (β = radial, 0.314; circumferential, 0.292; longitudinal, 0.500) and uric acid (β = radial, − 0.239; circumferential, − 0.211; longitudinal, − 0.238) (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Kidney dysfunction may aggravate the deterioration of LV strain in T2DM patients. LV strain is positively associated with the estimated glomerular filtration rate and negatively associated with uric acid, which may be independent risk factors for predicting reduction of LV strain.

Abstract
AIM To investigate risk factors associated with kidney disorders in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) at high cardiovascular (CV) risk. METHODS In DEVOTE, a cardiovascular outcomes trial, 7637 patients were randomised to insulin degludec (degludec) or insulin glargine 100 units/mL (glargine U100), with standard of care. In these exploratory post hoc analyses, serious adverse event reports were searched using Standardised MedDRA® Queries related to chronic kidney disease (CKD) or acute kidney injury (AKI). Baseline predictors of CKD, AKI and change in estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) were identified using stepwise selection and Cox or linear regression. RESULTS Over 2 years, eGFR (mL/min/1.73 m2) decline was small and similar between treatments (degludec: 2.70; glargine U100: 2.92). Overall, 97 and 208 patients experienced CKD and AKI events, respectively. A history of heart failure was a risk factor for CKD (hazard ratio [HR] 1.97 [95% confidence interval [CI] 1.41; 2.75]) and AKI (HR 2.28 [95% CI 1.64; 3.17]). A history of hepatic impairment was a significant predictor of CKD (HR 3.28 [95% CI 2.12; 5.07]) and change in eGFR (estimate: -8.59 [95% CI -10.20; -7.00]). CONCLUSION Our findings indicate that traditional, non-modifiable risk factors for kidney disorders apply to insulin-treated patients with T2D at high CV risk.

Abstract
Background Patients with both diabetes mellitus (DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) are a subpopulation characterized by ultrahigh ischemic and bleeding risk after percutaneous coronary intervention. There are limited data on the impact of ticagrelor monotherapy among these patients. Methods In this post hoc analysis of the GLOBAL-LEADERS trial, the treatment effects of the experimental (one-month dual-antiplatelet therapy [DAPT] followed by 23-month ticagrelor monotherapy) versus the reference regimen (12-month DAPT followed by 12-month aspirin alone) were analyzed according to DM/CKD status. The primary endpoint was a composite endpoint of all-cause death or new Q-wave myocardial infarction at 2-years. The patient-oriented composite endpoint (POCE) was defined as the composite of all-cause death, any stroke, site-reported MI and any revascularization, whereas net adverse clinical events (NACE) combined POCE with BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding events. Results At 2 years, the DM + /CKD + patients had significantly higher incidences of the primary endpoint (9.5% versus 3.1%, adjusted HR 2.16; 95% CI [1.66–2.80], p < 0.001), BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding events, stroke, site-reported myocardial infraction, all revascularization, POCE, and NACE, compared with the DM-/CKD- patients. Among the DM + /CKD + patients, after adjustment, there were no significant differences in the primary endpoints between the experimental and reference regimen; however, the experimental regimen was associated with lower rates of POCE (20.6% versus 25.9%, HR 0.74; 95% CI [0.55–0.99], p = 0.043, pinteraction = 0.155) and NACE (22.7% versus 28.3%, HR 0.75; 95% CI [0.56–0.99], p = 0.044, pinteraction = 0.310), which was mainly driven by a lower rate of all revascularization, as compared with the reference regimen. The landmark analysis showed that while the experimental and reference regimen had similar rates of all the clinical endpoints during the first year, the experimental regimen was associated with significantly lower rates of POCE (5.8% versus 11.0%, HR 0.49; 95% CI [0.29–0.82], p = 0.007, pinteraction = 0.040) and NACE (5.8% versus 11.2%, HR 0.48; 95% CI [0.29–0.82], p = 0.007, pinteraction = 0.013) in the second year. Conclusion Among patients with both DM and CKD, ticagrelor monotherapy was not associated with lower rates of all-cause death or new Q-wave, or major bleeding complications; however, it was associated with lower rates of POCE and NACE. These findings should be interpreted as hypothesis-generating. Clinical Trial Registration: ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01813435).

Background Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major health issue and cardiovascular risk factor. Validity assessment of administrative data for the detection of CKD in research for drug benefit and risk using real-world data is important. Existing algorithms have limitations and we need to develop new algorithms using administrative data, giving the importance of drug benefit/risk ratio in real world. Objective The aim of this study was to validate a predictive algorithm for CKD GFR category 4-5 (eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 but not receiving dialysis or CKD G4-5ND) using the administrative databases of the province of Quebec relative to estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) as a reference standard. Design This is a retrospective cohort study using chart collection and administrative databases. Setting The study was conducted in a community outpatient medical clinic and pre-dialysis outpatient clinic in downtown Montreal and rural area. Patients Patient medical files with at least 2 serum creatinine measures (up to 1 year apart) between September 1, 2013, and June 30, 2015, were reviewed consecutively (going back in time from the day we started the study). We excluded patients with end-stage renal disease on dialysis. The study was started in September 2013. Measurement Glomerular filtration rate was estimated using the CKD Epidemiological Collaboration (CKD-EPI) from each patient's file. Several algorithms were developed using 3 administrative databases with different combinations of physician claims (diagnostics and number of visits) and hospital discharge data in the 5 years prior to the cohort entry, as well as specific drug use and medical intervention in preparation for dialysis in the 2 years prior to the cohort entry. Methods Chart data were used to assess eGFR. The validity of various algorithms for detection of CKD groups was assessed with sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV). Results A total of 434 medical files were reviewed; mean age of patients was 74.2 ± 10.6 years, and 83% were older than 65 years. Sensitivity of algorithm #3 (diagnosis within 2-5 years and/or specific drug use within 2 years and nephrologist visit ≥4 within 2-5 years) in identification of CKD G4-5ND ranged from 82.5% to 89.0%, specificity from 97.1% to 98.9% with PPV and NPV ranging from 94.5% to 97.7% and 91.1% to 94.2%, respectively. The subsequent subgroup analysis (diabetes, hypertension, and <65 and ≥65 years) and also the comparisons of predicted prevalence in a cohort of older adults relative to published data emphasized the accuracy of our algorithm for patients with severe CKD (CKD G4-5ND). Limitations Our cohort comprised mostly older adults, and results may not be generalizable to all adults. Participants with CKD without 2 serum creatinine measurements up to 1 year apart were excluded. Conclusions The case definition of severe CKD G4-5ND derived from an algorithm using diagnosis code, drug use, and nephrologist visits from administrative databases is a valid algorithm compared with medical chart reviews in older adults.

Effect of high-dose mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist eplerenone on urinary albumin excretion in patients with type 2 diabetes and high cardiovascular risk: Data from the MIRAD trial. DIABETES & METABOLISM 2020; 47:101190. [PMID: 32919068 DOI: 10.1016/j.diabet.2020.08.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/20/2020] [Revised: 08/21/2020] [Accepted: 08/23/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022]
Abstract
AIM As mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) may possess renoprotective effects in type 2 diabetes (T2D), it was decided to investigate the impact of high-dose MRA on prespecified secondary endpoints-namely, change in urinary albumin-creatinine ratio (UACR) and 24-h ambulatory blood pressure-in the MIRAD trial. METHODS This was a double-blind clinical trial in which T2D patients at high risk of or with established cardiovascular disease (CVD) were randomized to either high-dose (100-200 mg) eplerenone or a dose-matched placebo as an add-on to background antihypertensive treatment for 26 weeks. Safety was evaluated by the incidence of hyperkalaemia and kidney-related adverse events. RESULTS A total of 140 patients were enrolled (70 in each group). Baseline UACR was 17 mg/g (geometric mean; 95% CI: 13-22); this decreased by 34% in the eplerenone group compared with the placebo group at week 26 (95% CI: -51% to -12%; P = 0.005). There was no significant decrease in 24-h systolic blood pressure (SBP) due to treatment (-3 mmHg; 95% CI: -6 to 1; P = 0.150). However, the observed change in 24-h SBP correlated with the relative change in UACR in the eplerenone group (r = 0.568, P < 0.001). Mean baseline (± SD) estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was 85 (± 18.6) mL/min/1.73 m2, and 12 (± 9%) had an eGFR of 41-59 mL/min/1.73 m2. No significant differences in the incidence of mild hyperkalaemia (≥ 5.5 mmol/L; eplerenone vs placebo: 6 vs 2, respectively; P = 0.276) and no severe hyperkalaemia (≥ 6.0 mmol/L) were observed. CONCLUSION The addition of high-dose eplerenone to T2D patients at high risk of CVD can markedly reduce UACR with an acceptable safety profile.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Data sources for the systematic and ongoing analysis of prevalence of microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus are limited in Germany. For the first time, we estimated the complications prevalence based on claims data of all statutory health insurance (SHI) providers according to the Data Transparency Act. METHODS Health claims data of the reporting years 2012 and 2013 were analyzed. The reference population was identified as insured persons with a diabetes diagnosis according to the international classification of disease. Diabetes was defined as documentation of at least two confirmed diabetes diagnoses in an outpatient setting or one diagnosis in an inpatient setting (ICD codes E10-E14). Complications were defined based on the following ICD codes: nephropathy (N08.3), retinopathy (H36.0), polyneuropathy (G63.2), diabetic foot syndrome (DFS; E10-14.74, E10-14.75), chronic kidney disease (N18.-), and treatment with dialysis (Z49.1, Z49.2, Z99.2). Results were compared to prevalence estimates based on routine data and registries in Germany and abroad. RESULTS In 2013, diabetes was documented for 6.6 million persons with SHI (2012: 6.5 million). In 2013, chronic kidney disease (15.0%) was the most frequent complication, followed by diabetic polyneuropathy (13.5%), nephropathy (7.6%), retinopathy (7.0%), DFS (6.1%), and treatment with dialysis (0.56%). While results for diabetic retinopathy, nephropathy, and polyneuropathy are lower than prevalence estimates from other type 2 diabetes studies, they are comparable for chronic kidney disease, treatment with dialysis, and DFS. CONCLUSION Continuous analysis of health claims data is highly valuable for the diabetes surveillance. However, detailed analyses are required for verification and harmonization of case definitions and documentation practice.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Renal biopsy performed in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) for atypical or suspected diabetic kidney disease (DKD) reveals one of three possibilities: diabetic nephropathy (DN, pathological diagnosis of DKD), nondiabetic kidney disease (NDKD) and DN plus NDKD (mixed form). NDKD (including the mixed form) is increasingly being recognized worldwide. With the emerging concept of DKD and the complexity of routine application of renal biopsy, the identification of "clinical indicators" to differentiate DKD from NDKD has been an area of active research. METHODS The PubMed database was searched for relevant articles mainly according to the keyword search method. We reviewed prevalence of the three types of DKD and different pathological lesions of NDKD. We also reviewed the clinical indicators used to identify DKD and NDKD. RESULTS The literature search identified 40 studies (5304 data) worldwide between 1977 and 2019 that looked at global renal biopsy and pathological NDKD lesions. The overall prevalence rate of DN, NDKD and DN plus NDKD is reported to be 41.3, 40.6 and 18.1%, respectively. In Asia, Africa (specifically Morocco and Tunisia) and Europe, the most common isolated NDKD pathological type is membranous nephropathy, representing 24.1, 15.1 and 22.6% of cases, respectively. In contrast, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis is reported to be the primary pathological type in North America (specifically the USA) and Oceania (specifically New Zealand), representing 22% and 63.9% of cases, respectively. Tubulointerstitial disease accounts for a high rate in the mixed group (21.7%), with acute interstitial nephritis being the most prevalent (9.3%), followed by acute tubular necrosis (9.0%). Regarding clinical indicators to differentiate DKD from NDKD, a total of 14 indicators were identified included in 42 studies. Among these, the most commonly studied indicators included diabetic retinopathy, duration of diabetes, proteinuria and hematuria. Regrettably, indicators with high sensitivity and specificity have not yet been identified. CONCLUSION To date, renal biopsy is still the gold standard to diagnose diabetes complicated with renal disease, especially when T2DM patients present atypical DKD symptoms (e.g. absence of diabetic retinopathy, shorter duration of diabetes, microscopic hematuria, sub-nephrotic range proteinuria, lower glycated hemoglobin, lower fasting blood glucose). We conclude that renal biopsy as early as possible is of great significance to enable personalized treatment to T2DM patients.

Abstract
AIMS To examine the prevalence of diabetic chronic kidney disease (DCKD) and its risk factors in adult Greek subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in a population from hospital-based diabetes clinics. METHODS This is a cross-sectional multicentre study based on data collected from Greek hospital-based diabetes clinics from June 2015 to March 2016. DCKD severity was defined according to the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) 2012 guidelines. Multivariate analyses assessed the associations between DCKD and its potential risk factors. RESULTS Among the entire population (n = 1759), the overall prevalence of DCKD was 45% including mild, moderate and severe CKD. Older age, male gender, body-mass index, lack of exercise and diabetes duration were significantly associated with DCKD. CONCLUSIONS In Greece, DCKD in T2DM is highly prevalent. It is significantly associated with demographic and lifestyle parameters, as well as T2DM complications, suggesting that further efforts to prevent DCKD should be addressed to subjects with specific characteristics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To explore, in a large group of patients with type-2 diabetes (T2DM), renal function decline in terms of the slope of the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) over time, and to find out how classical risk factors, such as the presence of hypertension, dyslipidemia and microalbuminuria, affect the renal function. METHODS The analysis included 32,492 adult T2DM patients from the DIVE/DPV registries who had serial eGFR determinations and information on the presence of microalbuminuria, hypertension and dyslipidemia available. RESULTS Patients had a mean age of 66.3 years, 52.6% were male with a mean BMI of 31.7 kg/m2. The mean eGFR was 78.4 ± 21.4 mL/min/1.73m2. The results showed that the prevalence of renal function impairment understood as chronic kidney disease (CKD) is considerable (53.0%) in a population of patients with T2DM and has a high incidence rate of 6.6% within a year. Serial determinations of the eGFR are, however, infrequent (7.8% of all patients) and these patients are characterised by the presence of a high-risk profile for CKD, such as hypertension (88.1%) and dyslipidemia (66.1%). Over a three-year time period, 30.9% of the patients had an eGFR slope of -12 mL/min/1.73m2 or more; and more than a doubled proportion of patients with an eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 (3.8% vs. 1.8%; p < 0.001). Hypertension and albuminuria contributed to renal function decline while dyslipidemia did not negatively affect the slope. CONCLUSION CKD is highly prevalent in patients with T2DM. Serial surveillance of the glomerular filtration rate is, however, not established in clinical practice, which would be necessary as indicated by a doubling of patients with an eGFR < 30 mL/min/1.73 m2 within 3 years. Moreover, the use of renin-angiotensin blocking agents was low, pointing at considerable room for improvement. Taken together we conclude that a closer surveillance of patients with diabetes based on the presence of further risk factors is mandatory combined with a mandatory prescription of RAS blocking agents once microalbuminuria and / or renal function deterioration develops.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Empagliflozin reduced morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in clinical trials. A registry study was undertaken to describe evolution of patient characteristics and assess the real-world effectiveness/safety of empagliflozin. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Data from the Diabetes Patienten Verlaufsdokumentation (DPV)/Diabetes Versorgungsevaluation (DIVE) registries on 9571 adults with T2DM (registered in 2014-2019) receiving empagliflozin were used. Patients were grouped according to the following: early users (group 1; n=505) received empagliflozin before the EMPA-REG OUTCOME study publication (mid-September 2015); intermediate users (group 2; n=2961) started empagliflozin after the EMPA-REG OUTCOME publication but before the European Medicines Agency label change (from mid-September 2015 to mid-January 2017); and late users (group 3; n=6105) started empagliflozin after mid-January 2017. Data on clinical and treatment characteristics were collected. RESULTS Over time, the proportion of recipients aged <65 years decreased (71.1% vs 54.4% among early and late adopters), male patients increased (from 50.9% to 66.5%), body mass index (mean±SD) decreased (from 35.5±6.7 to 32.7±6.6 kg/m2), proportion with cardiovascular morbidities increased (from 20.4% to 26.4%), and mean estimated glomerular filtration rate decreased (from 83.2±19.5 to 78.5±21.1 mL/min/1.73 m2) (all p<0.001). Patients increasingly received empagliflozin in combination with metformin (60.8% vs 68.6% of early and late adopters; p<0.001), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists (11.0 vs 14.1%; p<0.001) or insulin (34.3% vs 49.9%; p<0.001). Empagliflozin was generally added to existing antidiabetic regimens. Six months after empagliflozin initiation, the mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) decreased by 0.4%, the proportion of patients with HbA1c <6.5% increased (19.2% vs 12.8%), and the mean fasting plasma glucose decreased (155.8±49.7 vs 168.0±55.1 mg/dL) (all p<0.001). No significant changes in rates of severe hypoglycemia and no cases of diabetic ketoacidosis were seen. CONCLUSIONS Over time, empagliflozin is being prescribed to a broader patient range in routine practice, is usually added to existing antidiabetic regimens, and is increasingly used in combination with metformin, GLP-1 agonists and/or insulin. Empagliflozin had a beneficial effect on glycemic control, with no increase in hypoglycemia.

Abstract
Background Exercise induced albuminuria (EiA) is elevated in patients with metabolic dysfunction and diabetes, and may serve as an early biomarker for endothelial dysfunction and “kidney reserve”. However, the change in EiA levels over time and its interaction with metabolic dysfunction and glucose metabolism has never been studied. Therefore, we sought to determine EiA levels over time in a cohort of individuals attending a routine annual health survey. Methods We prospectively enrolled 412 patients attending an annual healthy survey at our Medical Center. We collected urine samples for albumin and creatinine measurements before and immediately after completing an exercise stress test, along with multiple physiologic and metabolic parameters. Participants returned to a second follow up visit after a mean follow up period of 3 years (± 1.7 SD). Results Patients with diagnosed diabetes and subjects with HbA1c ≥ 6.5% significantly increased their EiA over time (median [IQR] change between visits = 19.5 [− 10.4–56.1] vs. − 1.1 [− 12.7–4.9] (p = 0.049) for diabetics vs non-diabetics respectively). Moreover, a diabetes diagnosis was significantly associated with a high increase in EiA over time (top 10th percentile) even after adjusting for age, BMI, eGFR, METs, self-reported history of heart disease, systolic and diastolic blood pressure; OR = 4.4 (1.01–19.3 95% CI) (p = 0.049). Finally, elevated fasting blood glucose (≥ 100 mg/dl) was the strongest and only significant predictor for a greater increase in EiA over time after adjusting for all five metabolic syndrome components; blood glucose, waist circumference, blood triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, and BP criteria; OR = 4.0 (1.6–9.8 95% CI) (p < 0.01). Conclusions Patients with diabetes and/or elevated fasting blood glucose increase their exercise-induced urinary albumin excretion over time. The ability of EiA to predict major clinical outcomes in patients with and without diabetes needs to be determined in future studies.

Abstract
This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors of chronic kidney disease (CKD) among 1,096 primary care type 2 diabetes (T2DM) patients in northern Thailand between October 2016 and September 2017. CKD was defined as estimated glomerular rate filtration values of <60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Prevalence with confidence intervals across CKD advanced stages 3–5 were estimated. Factors associated with CKD were evaluated by multivariate logistic regression. The overall prevalence of CKD was 24.4% (21.9–27.0), with severities of 11.4% (9.7–13.4), 6.8% (5.5–8.5), 4.6% (3.5–6.0), and 1.6% (1.0–2.5) for stages 3 A, 3B, 4, and 5, respectively. Regarding age and glycaemic control, individuals older than 75 years and those with a haemoglobin A1c ≥ 8% had the highest prevalence of 61.3% (51.7–70.1) and 38.6% (34.3–43.2), respectively. The multivariable logistic regression model explained 87.3% of the probability of CKD. The six independent significant risk factors of CKD were older age, retinopathy, albuminuria, haemoglobin A1c ≥ 7%, anaemia, and uric acid>7.5 mg/dL. A relatively high prevalence of CKD, especially in older patients and those with diabetic complications-related to poor glycaemic control, was encountered in this primary care practice. Early identification may help to target optimise care and prevention programs for CKD among T2DM patients.

Abstract
AIMS This joint document of the Italian Diabetes Society and the Italian Society of Nephrology reviews the natural history of diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in the light of the recent epidemiological literature and provides updated recommendations on anti-hyperglycemic treatment with non-insulin agents. DATA SYNTHESIS Recent epidemiological studies have disclosed a wide heterogeneity of DKD. In addition to the classical albuminuric phenotype, two new albuminuria-independent phenotypes have emerged, i.e., "nonalbuminuric renal impairment" and "progressive renal decline", suggesting that DKD progression toward end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) may occur through two distinct pathways, albuminuric and nonalbuminuric. Several biomarkers have been associated with decline of estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) independent of albuminuria and other clinical variables, thus possibly improving ESKD prediction. However, the pathogenesis and anatomical correlates of these phenotypes are still unclear. Also the management of hyperglycemia in patients with type 2 diabetes and impaired renal function has profoundly changed during the last two decades. New anti-hyperglycemic drugs, which do not cause hypoglycemia and weight gain and, in some cases, seem to provide cardiorenal protection, have become available for treatment of these individuals. In addition, the lowest eGFR safety thresholds for some of the old agents, particularly metformin and insulin secretagogues, have been reconsidered. CONCLUSIONS The heterogeneity in the clinical presentation and course of DKD has important implications for the diagnosis, prognosis, and possibly treatment of this complication. The therapeutic options for patients with type 2 diabetes and impaired renal function have substantially increased, thus allowing a better management of these individuals.
