This document discusses changes in concepts and management of diabetic kidney disease. It notes the large disease burden and challenges in developing solid concepts due to complex pathophysiology and changing natural history. Standard measures like eGFR and UACR are sometimes lacking. New paradigms include different disease trajectories and revised models based on albuminuria. Pillars of management discussed include SGLT2 inhibitors, GLP-1 agonists, RAAS blockade, MRAs, and lifestyle changes/metformin. Landmark trials support maximum RAAS blockade doses. SGLT2 inhibitors are recommended in KDIGO 2022 guidelines due to benefits shown in recent studies. Terminology, phenotypes, and treatment guidelines from ADA and KDIGO
