More than 800 million people have chronic kidney disease (CKD) globally and type 2 diabetes accounts for between 30% 50% of cases CKD.1 Diabetic Kidney (DKD) is associated with increased cardiovascular (CVD) morbidity mortality in many countries also the leading cause end stage needing replacement therapy (dialysis or transplantation).2 DKD impacts on length quality life significantly contributes to global healthcare expenditure these human economic costs are likely rise further future.2, 3 Prognosis progression can differ from one individual another, which often a consequence interactions traditional emerging risk factors as well social-demographic factors, such ethnicity socio-economic factors.4 The recent Research UK health inequalities report demonstrated that South Asian Black backgrounds three five times more require dialysis white background.5 This observation may be part linked increasing prevalence currently unknown determinants progression. management requires multifactorial multidisciplinary approach key focus early identification CKD screening then prompt intervention focussing important lifestyle modifications, using evidence-based medical treatments holistic care.3, 6 With advances pillars treatment includes renin angiotensin system inhibition, sodium glucose co-transporter inhibition (SGLT2-inh), non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists glucagon like peptide 1 agonists (GLP-1 RA) parallel CVD factor modification, there an opportunity intervene change risk.7, 8 For DKD, gaps care options limited contrast diabetes, indeed, high burden this cohort underappreciated.9 natural history has evolved over last 40 years, remains significant residual ESKD premature CVD.9, 10 Despite 30 not optimal present late when modifiability progression/risk less feasible. There thus urgent need better methods biomarkers aid stratification ensure those at highest recognized guideline directed therapies initiated promptly morbidity/mortality.8, 11 glycaemic control challenging setting individualized approach. pathophysiology multifaceted encompasses metabolic haemodynamic perturbations lead structural functional disturbances including glomerular hyper-filtration, mesangial expansion interstitial fibrosis, convergence fundamental mechanisms, 'sterile' inflammation age changes, example cell senescence.12, 13 Although precise role development unclear, studies suggest accelerated ageing phenotype, coupled maladaptive immune response, underlies Furthermore, coexistence disease, so called 'cardiorenal syndrome', occurs face multi-organ crosstalk, evidence suggesting systemic vascular robust predictor poor dyslipidaemia. As obesity, syndrome continue rise, major worldwide.
