Overview

Once diabetic nephropathy develops, secondary prevention to halt the progression of the disease is aimed at strict control of blood pressure, blood glucose levels, as well as lipids.

Secondary Prevention

Once diabetic nephropathy develops, secondary prevention to halt the progression of the disease is aimed at:

  • Regarding inhibition of the renin-angiotensin system with ACE inhibitors or renin inhibitors, the Cochrane Collaboration reported reduction in renal outcomes[1].
    • Per the Cochrane, this benefit is not affected by moderately increased albuminuria (30 to 300 mg/day; A2 or microalbuminuria) or severely increased albuminuria (>300 mg/day; A3 or microalbuminuria)[1]
    • Whether this applies to patients without hypertension is unclear:
      • The Cochrane reported, "presence (versus absence) of hypertension in the enrolled populations did not significantly impact...doubling of serum creatinine (interaction P value = 0.22)"[1] However, the Cochrane did not report the data underlying this analysis.
      • The KDIGO guideline reports that only two trials included patients without hypertension (RENAAL[2] and INNOVATION[3]). The INNOVATION trial reported significant reduction in urine microalbuminuria from telmisartan regardless of whether hypertension was present[3].
  • Regarding inhibitors of sodium-glucose co-transporter 2:
    • Canagliflozin educes the risk of kidney failure and cardiovascular events in the CREDENCE randomized control trial of patients with diabetic kidney disease (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio > 300) who were almost all hypertensive and already taking ACE inhibitors.[4].
    • Empagliflozin, in the EMPA-REG trial reduced renal outcomes even with patients with cardiovascular disease 80% also taking ACE inhibitors or renin inhibitors, whose urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio < 30[5] Among patients with no albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, <30 at baseline), empagliflozin did not reduce incident albuminuria (urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio, ≥30).
  • Regarding mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs), the FIDELIO-DKD[6] and the FIGARO-DKD[7] trials have been conducted:
  • The benefits of tight control of blood glucose levels are uncertain per a systematic review by the Cochrane Collaboration[8].
  • Strict control of blood pressure, as well as lipids.[9]
