Diabetic kidney disease is a common complication of long-standing diabetes that can progress to kidney failure. It is characterized by persistent protein in the urine and declining kidney function over time. Risk factors include poor blood sugar and blood pressure control, family history, smoking, and genetic predisposition. Symptoms may not appear until late stages, so regular screening of urine protein and kidney function is important. Treatment focuses on strict blood sugar and blood pressure control through medications and lifestyle changes. Newer drugs that target additional disease pathways are being studied to help slow progression as current therapies are often not sufficient on their own. Proper management can help prevent or delay the need for dialysis or transplantation in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Poor blood sugar control

27. Symptoms and Signs of Diabetic Kidney Disease
Early stages
Swelling of feet and later the body
Worsening shortness of breath
Anaemia
Poor Blood pressure control
Later stages(when kidney failure sets in)
Lack of appetite, nausea ,vomiting
Severe breathlessness
Severe anaemia
Itching and bone pains
Bleeding and unconsciousness in late stages

33. What are the minimum investigations
needed to diagnose Diabetic Kidney Disease
Check S.Creatinine
Blood urea is not as good
Check for protein in the urine
Check the patients Blood Pressure
It is expected to be high

36. Current treatment regimens for treating
Diabetic kidney disease
Strict Glycaemic Control
ACE Inhibitors/ARB for
BP control
Primary prevention
Proteinuria reduction
Preservation of renal functions
Mineralocorticoid Receptor antagonists
Endothelin antagonists
Role of Diltiazem and verapamil
Cholesterol control
Lifestyle modification-Weight reduction/Smoking
Diet –Sodium and protein restriction
37.
38. Are Current therapies enough?
Possibly not
Key pathogenetic mechanisms leading to progression are not
inactivated
Several high profile trials have failed suggesting insufficient
understanding of pathogenetic pathways
Present rates of progression to ESRD are unacceptable , there
will be an explosion in the numbers if we do not act fast
Current trials looking at Protenuria reduction as a sole marker
of drug efficacy may be faulty
Inadequate knowledge of the exact patho-physiology of
Diabetic Kidney disease is lacking –hampering drug development
41. How can any common man prevent the
progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease
42. How can any one prevent the
progression of Diabetic Kidney Disease
From the patients stand lifestyle modification is the key
Regular physical exercise
Balanced Nutrituous Diet, high fibre ,Low fat, Low Salt,
Recommended amounts of Protein
Stop Smoking
Good Glycaemic control (HbA1c <7)
Proper Blood Pressure control (BP <130/80 mm of Hg)
Keep lipids under check
Avoid any Nephrotoxic drug intake
Pain-killers, Some antibiotics, indigenous medicines
Be aware of any infective focus in the body
Visit your doctor periodically and follow his instructions

45. Summary
Diabetic Kidney Disease is a common problem in long
standing Diabetics
It is preferable to identify the problem early and try to
control its progression
If not managed properly patients end up in ESRD and/or
severe CAD
Multifactorial approach to treatment shows benefits but
is not fool-proof
Newer modalities are being constantly tried to deal with
this menace
CKD Population 5-100x more likely to die than develop ESRD
CVD is 2x as common and advances at 2x the rate of CKD
Premature CHD Death is Major issue for CKD patient
Chronic Renal Insufficiency is a Cardiovascular Risk Equivalent

Background
Intensified multifactorial intervention — with tight glucose regulation and the use
of renin–angiotensin system blockers, aspirin, and lipid-lowering agents — has been
shown to reduce the risk of nonfatal cardiovascular disease among patients with
type 2 diabetes mellitus and microalbuminuria. We evaluated whether this approach
would have an effect on the rates of death from any cause and from cardiovascular
causes.
Methods
In the Steno-2 Study, we randomly assigned 160 patients with type 2 diabetes and
persistent microalbuminuria to receive either intensive therapy or conventional therapy;
the mean treatment period was 7.8 years. Patients were subsequently followed
observationally for a mean of 5.5 years, until December 31, 2006. The primary end
point at 13.3 years of follow-up was the time to death from any cause.
Results
Twenty-four patients in the intensive-therapy group died, as compared with 40 in
the conventional-therapy group (hazard ratio, 0.54; 95% confidence interval [CI],
0.32 to 0.89; P = 0.02). Intensive therapy was associated with a lower risk of death
from cardiovascular causes (hazard ratio, 0.43; 95% CI, 0.19 to 0.94; P = 0.04) and
of cardiovascular events (hazard ratio, 0.41; 95% CI, 0.25 to 0.67; P<0.001). One patient
in the intensive-therapy group had progression to end-stage renal disease, as
compared with six patients in the conventional-therapy group (P = 0.04). Fewer patients
in the intensive-therapy group required retinal photocoagulation (relative risk,
0.45; 95% CI, 0.23 to 0.86; P = 0.02). Few major side effects were reported.
Conclusions
In at-risk patients with type 2 diabetes, intensive intervention with multiple drug combinations
and behavior modification had sustained beneficial effects with respect
to vascular complications and on rates of death from any cause and from cardiovascular
causes. (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00320008.)
