ACTIVITY TITLE:
CME Symposium
The Challenge of Slowing Diabetic Kidney Disease Progression and Reducing Cardiovascular Risk: Recent Advances and Novel Strategies
ACTIVITY DATE:
Saturday, April 17, 2021 | 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time | Live Online at the World Congress of Nephrology 2021 (WCN’21), organized by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN)|
This satellite symposium is taking place at the World Congress of Nephrology 2021 (WCN’21), organized by the International Society of Nephrology (ISN).
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains one of the major causes of morbidity and mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. Despite optimized glycemic control and renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitor therapy, many patients with DKD progress to kidney failure. Recent advances in the understanding of disease pathophysiology have opened up new avenues of treatment, including targeting mineralocorticoid receptor overactivation with novel, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs). These agents have shown promise in DKD, as demonstrated in recent clinical trial results, with phase III trial results recently announced and also ongoing.
During this symposium, experts will discuss the pathophysiology of DKD and the role of MR overactivation in disease progression, as well as the interpretation of recent clinical trial data with novel MRAs in reducing cardio-renal risk in DKD patients.
