ConclusionConclusion
• Better glycemic and blood pressure control can delay the onset and slow the progression of kidney disease in patients with diabetes.
• Older oral hypoglycemic agents is either contraindicated or requires dosage adjustment in CKD.
• New medications for diabetes have been approved recently and many can be used safely in patients with CKD, thus providing treatment alternatives for better glycemic control in patients who are reluctant to use insulin.

Monoclonal IgM kappa nephropathy
in an 71 years old man
From 10 to 50% of non DN in type 2 diabetic patients with proteinuria
Conclusion• We must look for and to start the treatment of DN as soon as
possible• optimal BG and BP control (new targets)• specific effects of Renin angiotensin acting drugs on albumin
excretion rate and renal protection: ACE inh + Sartans ?• New drugs: acting on AGEs, TGFb, Oxidative stress, new oral
antidiabetic drugs, statins…. • Need for new markers and• New values for the normal range of microalbuminuria and BP,
place of ambulatory BP measurements• Do we prevent « DN Sd » in all diabetic patients ?
Therapeutic failure in diabetes
• When a patient reaches end stage renal failure
• When a patient becomes blind or severely visually impaired
• When a patient has a leg or foot amputated
• When a patient suffers from MI or stroke
Screening/detection of late diabetic complications
• Ophthalmoscopy / fundusphotography and visual acuity
• Urinary albumin excretion (A/C) and s creatinine

Treatment modalities in normo- and Treatment modalities in normo- and hypertensive patients with incipient and hypertensive patients with incipient and

Treatment of patients with diabetes and microalbuminuria
• Strict metabolic control• Antihypertensive treatment• Blockade of the angiotensin
system– ACE – inhibition– Angiotensin II receptor blocking

• Strict metabolic control• ACE – inhibition • Lipid lowering drugs?• Low protein diet?
• Higher prevalence of retinopathy, neuropathy and foot ulcers
• Enhanced cardiovascular morbidity
• Enhanced all-cause mortality, especially cardiovascular
• Predict development of diabetic nephropathy

In summary: secondary prevention of development of diabetic nephropathy
• Strict metabolic control• Antihypertensive treatment

• Multifactorial intervention
In summary: tertiary prevention of progression to ESRF
• Antihypertensive treatment• Strict glucose control • Low protein diet ?• Lipid lowering drugs ?• Stop smoking ?

Managing Hypertensive Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (ESH/ESC Guidelines) Renal protection in diabetes has two main requirements:
Strict BP control (<130/80 mmHg and even lower if proteinuria >1 g/day is present) Lowering proteinuria to values as near to normal as possible
Microalbuminuria in Type 1 or 2 diabetics: RAAS blockers should be used
Proteinuria: either an ARB, an ACE-I or both is required
To achieve BP goal: combination therapy of several agents (including loop diuretics)
An integrated therapeutic intervention involving various drug classes should be considered in patients with renal damage
ESH/ESC = European Society of Hypertension/European Society of Cardiology

Managing Hypertensive Patients with Chronic Kidney Disease (JNC 7 Guidelines)
In patients with either a GFR <60 mL/min per 1.73 m2 or albuminuria (>300 mg/day or >200 mg albumin per g of creatinine): Aggressive BP management is advocated, using 3 or more drugs
(including ACE-I or ARBs) to reach BP goals <130/80 mmHg
In patients with advanced renal disease (GFR <30 mL/min, corresponding to a serum creatinine of 2.5–3.0 mg/mL), increasing doses of loop diuretics are required in combination with other drug classes

Microalbuminuria Reduction With Valsartan (MARVAL) Study: Background Increased UAER is a modifiable risk factor for renal and CV disease in Type 2
diabetes (T2D)
RAAS blockade lowers UAER, but whether this effect is independent of BP reduction remains controversial
MARVAL: designed to evaluate BP-independent effect of DIOVAN on UAER in 332 patients with T2D and microalbuminuria, with or without hypertension
Patients randomised to 80 mg DIOVAN or 5 mg amlodipine for24 weeks
A target BP of 135/85 mmHg was aimed for by dose-doubling followed by addition of bendrofluazide and doxazosin whenever needed
The primary endpoint was the % change in UAER from baseline to24 weeks

MARVAL: Both DIOVAN and Amlodipine Reduce BP to a Similar Extent
Decrease in BP from baseline in subgroup with hypertension at Week 24

Patients with Type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria, with or without hypertension
Recommendation
ESH/ESC guidelines states that :
urinary protein excretion (including Microalbuminuria), eGFR, and ECG should be considered routinely for total cardiovascular risk quantification
Sub-clinical organ damage should be assessed both at screening and during treatment to evaluate whether the selected treatment is protecting patients
from progressing organ damage and potentially from cardiovascular events.
Recommendation
ESH/ESC guidelines states that :
Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, CCB, ARBs, and B-blockers do not differ significantly for their overall ability to reduce BP in hypertension.
Diuretics, ACE inhibitors, CCB, ARBs, and B-blockers can all be considered suitable for initiation of antihypertensive treatment, as well as for its maintenance.
The choice of drug(s) should be made according to the evidence. i.e. The traditional ranking of drugs into first, second, third, and subsequent choice, with an average
patient as reference, has now little scientific and practical justification and should be avoided.
Recommendation
ESH/ESC guidelines states that :
Tight blood glucose control (HbA1c to 6.5%) is beneficial, particularly on microvascular complications. Both effective BG & BP control increases
protection
Tight blood glucose control should be monitored closely to avoid severe hypoglycemic episodes.
Microvascular complications of diabetes in different organs are differently affected by treatment. Antihypertensive treatment exerts a major protective
effect against renal complications, whereas evidence of a similar effect on eye and neural complications is less consistent.
Recommendation
The choice of drugs should be made according to the evidence
Combination Therapy used for treatment initiation, particularly in patients at high cardiovascular risk where early BP control is desirable.
SPC is preferred for patients compliance
For Diabetic Hypertensive patient an ARB should always be included because of the evidence of its superior protective effect against initiation or progression of nephropathy.
BP Goal (Below 130/80mmHg) for diabetic patients is not supported by outcome evidence from trials, as it’s very difficult to achieve in the majority of the patients. So a sizeable BP reduction is recommended without indicating a goal.
Recommendation
ESH/ESC guidelines states that :
When three drugs are required, the most rational combination appears to be a RAAS blocker, a CCB, and a diuretic at
effective doses.
