Abstract
Primary care physicians recommend early and regular screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) in individuals with type 2 diabetes (T2D).
- CKD screening should include estimated glomerular filtration rate and urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio testing.
- Annual review of CKD risk using a specific heatmap can help optimize treatment and slow CKD progression.
- Lifestyle modifications are essential for reducing CKD risk in those with T2D.
- A combination approach to medication is advised, including renin-angiotensin system inhibitors and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, among others.
