Diabetic kidney disease within the framework of cardio-kidney-metabolic health: a paradigm shift

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This paper argues that kidney disease caused by diabetes should be treated as one part of a linked heart, kidney and metabolic problem, not as a separate illness on its own. The point is that the same drugs and the same risk factors cut across all three. It is a viewpoint piece written by specialists, not a study, so there are no new patient results.
