Summary -Current nephroprotection (ACEI or ARB) is not enough for many patients -Tremendous interest with the new anti-diabetic drugs,the incretinebased drugs and mainly with SGLT2 inhibitors -Promising clinical trials targeting endothelin receptors (volume overload risk!), and additional trials targeting mineralcorticoid receptors, and different inflammation pathways -It is expected that new drugs, combating DKD in the coming years, can drecrease the burden of this disease
