Definition of Diabetic Nephropathy Persistent albuminuria (>300 mg/24 hr or 200 µg/min) is the hallmark of diabetic nephropathy that can be diagnosed clinically if the following additional criteria are fulfilled presence of diabetic retinopathy and absence of clinical or laboratory evidence of other kidney or renal tract disease. This clinical definition of diabetic nephropathy is valid in types 1 and 2 diabetes (pg 1283) only 50% to 60% of proteinuric type 2 diabetic patients have retinopathy. (pg 1300) Brenner and Rector's The Kidney, 39, 1283-1321.e14 Diabetic kidney disease is usually a clinical diagnosis made based on the presence of albuminuria and/or reduced egfr in the absence of signs or symptoms of other primary causes of kidney damage. The typical presentation of diabetic kidney disease is considered to include a long-standing duration of diabetes, retinopathy, albuminuria without hematuria, and gradually progressive kidney disease. However, signs of CKD may be present at diagnosis or without retinopathy in type 2 diabetes, and reduced egfr without albuminuria has been frequently reported in type 1 and type 2 diabetes and is becoming more common over time as the prevalence of diabetes increases in the U.S. American Diabetes Association- Diabetes Care Volume 40, Supplement 1, January 2017

Definition of Diabetic Nephropathy prevalence of albuminuria in patients with T2DM decreased from about 21% in 1988-1994 to 16% in 2009-2014, despite a rise in the prevalence of reduced egfr CJASN 12:1366-1373,2017

Pathologic Classification of DM Nephropathy

Pathologic Classification of DM Nephropathy IFTA = Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy

Estimating GFR- Cr, Age, Race, Sex The MDRD GFR is an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using serum creatinine and demographic factors. It has not been studied extensively in populations that are not white or black. It relies on a stable creatinine and may be less accurate for GFR values above 60. simplified MDRD equation by Levey, et. al. egfr = 186*(0.742 if female)*(1.212 if Black)*creatinine -1.153 *age -0.203 The CKD-EPI GFR is an estimate of the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) using serum creatinine and demographic factors. It is a relatively new equation proposed to be superior to the MDRD GFR equation. The CKD-EPI equation by Levey, et. al.: egfr = 141 x min(scr/k, 1) a x max(scr/k, 1) -1.209 x 0.993 Age x 1.018 [if female] x 1.159 [if black] Scr is serum creatinine, k is 0.7 for females and 0.9 for males, a is -0.329 for females and - 0.411 for males, min indicates the minimum of Scr/k or 1, and max indicates the maximum of Scr/k or 1 Levey AS, Greene T, Kusek J, Beck GJ, Group MS: A simplified equation to predict glomerular filtration rate from serum creatinine [Abstract].

Proteinuria Doubling of Serum Creatinine Development of ESRD What do we Really Want to Accomplish with Treatment of Diabetes Improve morbidity Improve mortality

Life Cycle of Diabetic Nephropathy in T1DM and 3 Points of Intervention A2- microalbuminuria to A3- Macroalbuminuria (diabetic nephropathy) A3- macroalbuminuria (DN) to ESRD Type 1 DM Changing nomenclature A1-normoalbuminuria to A2- microalbuminuria microalbuminuria = moderately increased albuminuria (A2) macroalbuminuria = severely increased albuminuria (A3)

Potential Issues with Studies T1DM vs. T2DM What phase is being studied- primary prevention, secondary prevention, tertiary prevention Only about 30% of diabetic patients develop DN- thus in primary prevention studies about 70% of enrolled patients will NOT develop the disease no matter the treatment. Need for better biomarkers of which patients are at risk for DN Sex differences- young males worse outcomes. Estrogen protective? Is the study drug s mechanism of action independent of glycemic and/or BP control

Is Albuminuria an Appropriate Surrogate Marker of Renoprotection? Albuminuria Is an Appropriate Therapeutic Target in Patients with CKD: The Pro View Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2015 Jun 5; 10(6): 1079 1088. Albuminuria is Not an Appropriate Therapeutic Target in Patients with CKD: The Con View Clin J Am Soc Nephrol. 2015 Jun 5; 10(6): 1089 1093. reduction in albuminuria observed during the first months of treatment with these drugs correlates with the degree of long-term renal protection: the larger the initial reduction in albuminuria, the lower the risk of ESRD during treatment. In addition, in treated patients, residual albuminuria is again the strongest risk marker for renal disease progression. These observations combined provide a strong argument that albuminuria is an appropriate therapeutic target in patients with CKD combining renin-angiotensin system therapies decreases albuminuria without significant clinical benefit but with increased risk of adverse events albuminuria has not jumped the hurdle needed to be accepted as a surrogate end point or target for treatment. Primum non nocere, first do no harm.

Summary of Intense Glycemic Control in T2DM Thus, as a whole, the intensity of glycemic control should probably be tempered in patients with T2DM who also have multiple comorbid conditions, with the goal of moderate glycemic control (HbA1C 7 8 %), since the benefits, if any, are hard to achieve, come with risk, and are at best small in magnitude. Intensive glycemic control with HbA1C <7 % should be attempted with extreme caution and only in younger, newly diagnosed patients without comorbidities.

Remember Is the Patient better off Not are one or two organ systems better off CONCLUSIONS In two trials involving patients with type 2 diabetes and an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease, patients treated with canagliflozin had a lower risk of cardiovascular events than those who received placebo but a greater risk of amputation, primarily at the level of the toe or metatarsal.
