Improved Survival and Renal Prognosis of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and Nephropathy With Improved Control of Risk Factors

Abstract: OBJECTIVETo evaluate long-term survival, development of renal end points, and decline in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in patients with type 2 diabetes and diabetic nephropathy (DN) after renin-angiotensin system (RAS) inhibition and multifactorial treatment of cardiovascular risk factors have become standard of care. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODSAll patients with type 2 diabetes and DN (n = 543) at the Steno Diabetes Center were followed during 2000-2010. GFR was measured yearly with 51 Cr-EDTA plasma cleara… Show more

“…In this regard, the financial impact of the epidemic spread of the disease becomes more critical and deserves particular consideration. Based on the accelerating increase in diabetes incidence and improved type 2 diabetes prognosis [25], it becomes clear that the health care cost for diabetes management per person will escalate continuously, which represents a current global trend [2].…”

“…This surrogate end point was chosen instead of using hard end points, as the trial is conducted in a normoalbuminuric population. Development of hard renal end points can take up to 20 years12 in such populations, hence, persistent microalbuminuria, which is considered a valid surrogate end point will be a feasible and acceptable outcome for our study 39. The aim to replace albuminuria as a biomarker, by designing a study based on albuminuria as outcome, may appear suboptimal at first glance.…”

“…2,4 T2DM patients with a faster rate of progression will develop the advanced stages of renal dysfunction and "hard" renal end points and cardiovascular outcomes faster. 24,35 Moreover, there is evidence that interventions that slow the rate of decline of renal function in early phases of CKD may be associated with longer-term cardiorenal protection. 23,35 We demonstrate that relatively early in the course of their renal dysfunction, Ao-PWV may identify those at higher risk of progression.…”

“…24,35 Moreover, there is evidence that interventions that slow the rate of decline of renal function in early phases of CKD may be associated with longer-term cardiorenal protection. 23,35 We demonstrate that relatively early in the course of their renal dysfunction, Ao-PWV may identify those at higher risk of progression. Further confirmatory studies are required to establish whether Ao-PWV can help risk stratify and identify patients at high risk for progression to advanced renal disease.…”
