Project description:People with type 2 diabetes mellitus have increased risk of chronic kidney disease and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Improved care delivery and implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy have contributed to the declining incidence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in high-income countries. By contrast, the global incidence of chronic kidney disease and associated mortality is either plateaued or increased, leading to escalating direct and indirect medical costs. Given limited resources, better risk stratification approaches to identify people at risk of rapid progression to end-stage kidney disease can reduce therapeutic inertia, facilitate timely interventions and identify the need for early nephrologist referral. Among people with chronic kidney disease G3a and beyond, the kidney failure risk equations (KFRE) have been externally validated and outperformed other risk prediction models. The KFRE can also guide the timing of preparation for kidney replacement therapy with improved healthcare resources planning and may prevent multiple complications and premature mortality among people with chronic kidney disease with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The present review summarizes the evidence of KFRE to date and call for future research to validate and evaluate its impact on cardiovascular and mortality outcomes, as well as healthcare resource utilization in multiethnic populations and different healthcare settings.

Project description:Diabetes is the leading cause and a common comorbidity of advanced chronic kidney disease. Glycaemic management in this population is challenging and characterised by frequent excursions of hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. Current glucose monitoring tools, such as HbA1c, fructosamine and glycated albumin, have biases in this population and provide information only on mean glucose exposure. Revolutionary developments in glucose sensing and insulin delivery technology have occurred in the last decade. Newer factory-calibrated continuous glucose monitors provide real-time glucose data, with predictive alarms, allowing improved assessment of glucose excursions and preventive measures, particularly during and between dialysis sessions. Furthermore, integration of continuous glucose monitors and their predictive alerts with automated insulin delivery systems enables insulin administration to be decreased or stopped proactively, leading to improved glycaemic management and diminishing glycaemic fluctuations. While awaiting regulatory approval, emerging studies, expert real-world experience and clinical guidelines support the use of diabetes technology devices in people with diabetes and advanced chronic kidney disease.

Project description:BackgroundFrailty is independently associated with worse health-related quality of life (HRQOL) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, the relationship between frailty and symptom experience is not well described in people living with CKD. This study's aim was to evaluate the relationship between frailty and symptom-burden in CKD.MethodsThis study is a secondary analysis of a cross-sectional observational study, the QCKD study (ISRCTN87066351), in which participants completed physical activity, cardiopulmonary fitness, symptom-burden and HRQOL questionnaires. A modified version of the Frailty Phenotype, comprising 3 self-report components, was created to assess frailty status. Multiple linear regression was performed to assess the association between symptom-burden/HRQOL and frailty. Logistic regression was performed to assess the association between experiencing symptoms frequently and frailty. Principal Component Analysis was used to assess the experienced symptom clusters.ResultsA total of 353 patients with CKD were recruited with 225 (64%) participants categorised as frail. Frail participants reported more symptoms, had higher symptom scores and worse HRQOL scores. Frailty was independently associated with higher total symptom score and lower HRQOL scores. Frailty was also independently associated with higher odds of frequently experiencing 9 out of 12 reported symptoms. Finally, frail participants experienced an additional symptom cluster that included loss of appetite, tiredness, feeling cold and poor concentration.ConclusionsFrailty is independently associated with high symptom-burden and poor HRQOL in CKD. Moreover, people living with frailty and CKD have a distinctive symptom experience. Proactive interventions are needed that can effectively identify and address problematic symptoms to mitigate their impact on HRQOL.

Project description:BackgroundPrevious studies in general practice and hospital settings have identified that prescribing of non-insulin diabetes medications may be sub-optimal in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and renal impairment. Since these publications, a number of new medications have become available for the management of T2D. Study aims were to, in a cohort of Australians with T2D and renal impairment attending general practice, (1) investigate whether the prescribing of non-insulin diabetes medications is consistent with dosing adjustments recommended within current Australian Diabetes Society (ADS) guidelines; and (2) identify patient socio-demographic and clinical factors associated with at least one prescription of a non-insulin diabetes medication inconsistent with current ADS guidelines for medication doses.MethodsCross-sectional study using data from the MedicineInsight general practice database managed by NPS MedicineWise. Patients with T2D who were aged 18 years and over, with an average eGFR< 60 ml/min/1.73m2 and at least one prescription of a non-insulin diabetes medication between 1st January 2015 and 30th June 2017 were included. Descriptive statistics were used to summarise patient characteristics and medication use. Marginal logistic regression models were used to estimate associations between sociodemographic and clinical factors and prescribing of ≥1non-insulin diabetes medicine not consistent with ADS guidelines.ResultsThe majority of the 3505 patients included (90.4%) had an average eGFR of 30-59 ml/min/1.73m2. In terms of absolute numbers, metformin was the medication most frequently prescribed at a dose not consistent with current ADS guidelines for dosing in renal impairment (n = 1601 patients), followed by DPP4 inhibitors (n = 611) and sulphonylureas (n = 278). The drug classes with the highest proportion of prescriptions with dosage not consistent with ADS guidelines were SGLT2 inhibitors (83%), followed by biguanides (58%) and DPP4 inhibitors (46%). Higher HbA1c, longer known diabetes duration and diagnosis of retinopathy were associated with receiving ≥1prescription with a dosage not consistent with guidelines.ConclusionsPrescribing of non-insulin diabetes medications at doses inconsistent with current ADS guideline recommendations for dosing adjustments for people with renal impairment was common. Further research is needed to understand how general practitioners access, interpret and apply the ADS guidelines and the impact this may have on patient outcomes.

Project description:The management of patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease (CKD) encompasses lifestyle modifications, glycemic control with individualized HbA1c targets, and cardiovascular disease risk reduction. Metformin and sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors are first-line agents. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists are second-line agents. The use of other antidiabetic agents should consider patient preferences, comorbidities, drug costs, and the risk of hypoglycemia. Renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system inhibitors are strongly recommended for patients with diabetes, hypertension, and albuminuria. Non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, which pose less risk of hyperkalemia than steroidal agents, are undergoing further evaluation among patients with diabetic kidney disease. Here, we discuss important advancements in the management of patients with type 2 diabetes and CKD.

Project description:AimsActive vitamin D deficiency is associated with increased aortic-pulse wave velocity (Ao-PWV) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). There are no randomised controlled trials investigating the effect of active vitamin D treatment on Ao-PWV in people with T2DM and CKD.MethodsA 48-week duration single-centre randomised double-blind parallel-group trial examined the impact of oral 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D (calcitriol 0.25 mcg OD) as compared to placebo on a primary endpoint of Ao-PWV. People with T2DM and stable stage 3 CKD with intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) level >30 pg/mL were eligible.ResultsIn total, 127 (70% male) people were randomised (calcitriol n = 64 or placebo n = 63). There was no change in Ao-PWV observed, mean ± standard deviation (SD), in the calcitriol group of 11.79 (±2.5) to 12.08 (3.0) m/s as compared to 10.90 (±2.4) to 11.39 (±2.6) m/s with placebo. The between-treatment group adjusted mean (95% confidence interval [(CI]] change was 0.23 (-0.58 to 1.05) m/s, P = .57. No effect of calcitriol was observed on central arterial pressures, albuminuria, serum calcium or phosphate levels. However, iPTH fell with calcitriol treatment (mean [95% CI] between-group difference of -27.8 (-42.3 to -13.2) pg/mL, P < .001.ConclusionIn T2DM and stage 3 CKD, calcitriol as compared to placebo does not improve Ao-PWV or other markers of arterial stiffness. Our study does not provide evidence for the use of active vitamin D for improving arterial stiffness in T2DM with stage 3 CKD.

Project description:Background and objectivesThe glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist liraglutide demonstrated cardiovascular and kidney benefits in the LEADER trial, particularly in participants with CKD.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsThis post hoc analysis evaluated the safety of liraglutide treatment in patients with CKD in LEADER. Overall, 9340 patients were randomized to liraglutide or placebo, both in addition to standard of care. Of those, 2158 patients had CKD versus 7182 without CKD (defined as eGFR <60 versus ≥60 ml/min per 1.73 m2, respectively); 966 patients had macroalbuminuria and 2456 had microalbuminuria (urine albumin-creatinine ratio >300 mg/g and ≥30 to ≤300 mg/g, respectively). At baseline, the mean eGFR in patients with CKD was 46±11 ml/min per 1.73 m2 versus 91±22 ml/min per 1.73 m2 in those without CKD. Time to first event within event groups was analyzed using Cox regression with treatment group, baseline eGFR group, or baseline albuminuria group as fixed factors.ResultsOverall, serious adverse events were more frequently recorded in patients with CKD compared with those without CKD (59% versus 50%; interaction P=0.11); however, they occurred to the same extent in those on liraglutide versus placebo. Similarly, no interaction of adverse events with randomized therapy was observed in patients with micro- or macro- versus normoalbuminuria (interaction P=0.11). Risk of severe hypoglycemia was significantly reduced with liraglutide versus placebo in patients with CKD or with micro- or macroalbuminuria (hazard ratio, 0.63 [95% CI, 0.43 to 0.91] and 0.57 [95% CI, 0.40 to 0.82], respectively).ConclusionsIn LEADER, the use of liraglutide in those with CKD was safe, with no difference between patients with and without CKD.Clinical trial registry name and registration numberClinicalTrials.gov; NCT01179048 (https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01179048).

Project description:BackgroundThe availability and accessibility of patient-centered weight management programs is critical to mitigate the increasing prevalence of obesity in people living with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Little is known about the availability of contemporary programs that can safely and effectively support individuals living with obesity and CKD across North America.ObjectiveWe sought to identify weight management programs specific to those with CKD and explore their safety, affordability, and adaptability to this patient population. We also identified the barriers and facilitators of identified programming including their accessibility to real-world patients (eg, cost, access, support, and time).DesignEnvironmental scan of weight management programs.SettingNorth America.PatientPeople living with CKD.MethodsWe identified weight management programs and associated barriers and facilitators, via an Internet-based search of commercial, community-based, and medically supervised weight management programming. We also conducted a gray literature search and contacted weight management experts and program facilitators to explore strategies as well as their barriers and facilitators.ResultsWe identified 40 weight management programs available to people living with CKD across North America. Programs were commercial (n = 7), community-based (n = 9), and medically supervised (Canada n = 13, U.S n = 8) in origin. Three programs were specifically tailored to CKD (n = 3). In addition to formal programs, we also identified online nutritional resources and guidelines for weight loss in CKD (n = 8), and additional strategies (self-management tools, group orientated programs, moderate energy restrictions in conjunction with exercise and Orlistat) for weight loss from the gray literature (n = 3). Most common barriers were difficulty accessing some of the suggested nutritious food options due to the high cost, lack of support from family, friends and health practitioners, the time commitment required to participate, and the exclusion from weight management programs due to unique dietary needs for the CKD population. Most common facilitators were programs that were patient-centered, evidence-based, and offered both group and individual formats.LimitationsAlthough our search criteria were broad, it is possible that we did not capture all weight management programs available across North America.ConclusionsThis environmental scan has generated a resource list of existing safe and effective programs for or adaptable to people with CKD. This information will inform future efforts to develop and deliver CKD-specific weight management programs to patients living with comorbid disease. Engaging people living with CKD to understand the acceptability of these programs, is an important focus for future research.

Project description:BACKGROUND: In patients with type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with increased risk of hypoglycaemia and death. Yet, it remains uncertain whether hypoglycaemia-associated mortality is modified by CKD. METHODS: Type 2 diabetic patients, with or without CKD at enrolment were observed between 1995 and 2007, and followed up till 2009 at hospital medical clinics. We used additive interaction, estimated by relative excess risk due to interaction (RERI) and attributable proportion due to interaction (AP) to examine possible synergistic effects between CKD and severe hypoglycaemia (defined as hospitalisations due to hypoglycaemia in the 12?months prior to enrolment) on the risk of death. RESULTS: In this cohort of 8,767 type 2 diabetic patients [median age: 58 (interquartile range: 48 to 68) years; disease duration: 5 (1 to 11) years, men: 47.0%], 1,070 (12.2%) had died during a median follow-up period of 6.66?years (3.42-10.36) with 60,379 person-years.Upon enrolment, 209 patients had severe hypoglycaemia and 194 developed severe hypoglycaemia during follow-up (15 patients had both). In multivariable analysis and using patients without severe hypoglycaemia nor CKD as the referent group (683 deaths in 7,598 patients), severe hypoglycaemia alone (61 deaths in 272 patients) or CKD alone (267 death in 781 patients) were associated with increased risk of death [Hazard ratio, HR: 1.81(95%CI: 1.38 to 2.37) and 1.63 (1.38 to 1.93) respectively]. Having both risk factors (59 deaths in 116 patients) greatly enhanced the HR of death to 3.91 (2.93 to 5.21) with significant interaction (RERI: 1.46 and AP: 0.37, both p-values?<?0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Severe hypoglycaemia and CKD interact to increase risk of death in type 2 diabetes patients.

Project description:Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are incretin-mimetic agents that are effective adjuncts in the treatment of diabetes. This class of medications is also associated with promoting weight loss and a low risk of hypoglycemia, and some have been shown to be associated with a significant reduction of major cardiovascular events. Mounting evidence suggests that GLP-1 RAs have benefits beyond reducing blood glucose that include improving kidney function in people living with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), a common microvascular complication of T2DM. Several large clinical studies, the majority of which are cardiovascular outcome trials, indicate that GLP-1 RA therapy is safe and tolerable for people living with T2DM and compromised renal function, and also suggest that GLP-1 RAs may have renoprotective properties. Although evidence from clinical trials has shown GLP-1 RAs to be safe and efficacious in people living with T2DM and renal impairment, their use is uncommon in this patient population. With continuing developments in the field of GLP-1 RA therapy, it is important for physicians to understand the benefits and practical use of GLP-1 RAs, as well as the clinical evidence, in order to achieve positive patient outcomes. Here, we review evidence on GLP-1 RA use in people living with T2DM and CKD and summarize renal outcomes from clinical studies. We provide practical considerations for GLP-1 RA use to provide an added benefit to guide treatment in this high-risk patient population.
