Abstract
Purpose of review: Patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes are at high risk of cardiovascular disease, including heart failure. Risk mitigation requires a comprehensive approach with lifestyle modifications, blood pressure management, renin-angiotensin blockade, and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors. Recent trials have shown that nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (ns-MRA) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RA) should also be components of this approach. This review will discuss the comprehensive approach to mitigating risk in these high-risk patients and highlight the recent trials of ns-MRAs and GLP-1 RA.
Recent findings: In recent years, large, randomized controlled trials of ns-MRA and GLP-1 RA have shown benefit in kidney and cardiovascular outcomes for patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes.
Summary: The substantial benefits and overall favorable safety profiles for ns-MRA and GLP-1 RA in patients with chronic kidney disease and diabetes demonstrate that these medications should be considered as a part of a comprehensive approach to cardiovascular risk reduction in this high-risk population. Future studies should consider different combination therapies and guide how and when to initiate these therapies.
