Early diabetic kidney disease (DKD) occurs in 50-70% of youth with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and confers high lifetime risk of dialysis and premature death. Youth-onset T2D typically manifests during or shortly after puberty in adolescents with obesity. Epidemiological data implicate puberty as an accelerator of kidney disease in youth with obesity and diabetes and the investigators posit that the link between puberty and T2D-onset may explain the high burden of DKD in youth-onset T2D. A better understanding of the impact of puberty on kidney health is needed to promote preservation of native kidney function, especially in youth with T2D.
Diabetic kidney disease(DKD) is a leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease across the world. Early identification of DKD is vitally important for the effective prevention and control of it. However, the available indicators are doubtful in the early diagnosis of DKD. This study aims to develop a novel system of multidimensional network biomarkers (MDNBs) to estimating early diabetic nephropathy, and further validating the performance of the novel systemin in prediction of the risk for early diabetic nephropathy by a nested case-control study.
The current trial is designed to evaluate how the results of KidneyIntelX test / platform impacts on the clinical management of type 2 diabetes patients identified as increased risk for rapid kidney function decline within 5-years.
Insufficient clinical evidence correlates the progression of diabetic kidney disease with electrolyte homeostasis in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), especially in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) population and what are the most effective interventions to slow chronic renal failure progression. In our research, we test the hypothesis that low serum magnesium and potassium levels are directly associated with the decline of kidney function in diabetic patients who did not have severely impaired renal function at baseline. In addition, we describe the effect of long-term multifactorial adherence interventions on medication adherence, diet adherence and follow-up visits using a telemedicine approach such as mobile applications in reducing the progression of chronic kidney disease and other diabetes-related complications. This study is a single-blind randomized control trial to demonstrate the causal relationship between potassium and magnesium levels and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) decline. The intervention group will be evaluated for manifestations of electrolyte imbalance and correction of serum magnesium and/or potassium levels will be initiated based on the last updated laboratory test. Moreover, they will receive education to reinforce diet and exercise changes at each follow up visit by a specialized dietitian with pharmacist-led comprehensive medication therapy management utilizing multifactorial adherence interventions to measure potential drug-drug or drug-food interactions, as well as medication and follow-up adherence through an integrated mobile application and fixed medication possession ratio (FMPR). This research is under progress, and summary of its findings will be reported. This study will suggest if additional national monitoring guidelines may be warranted. In addition, it will reduce diabetic burden, medication cost in UAE and improve patient satisfaction by reducing or delaying the progression of diabetic kidney disease in diabetic patients.
The current population of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) worldwide is over 200 million and Malaysia contributes to 1.2% of that number. The prevalence of T2DM in Malaysia has approximately tripled over the last three decades from 6.3% in 1986 to 17.5% of the adult population in 2015.T2DM is a progressive disease associated with debilitating microvascular and macrovascular complications. The prevalence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in Peninsular Malaysia was high at 9.1% of the adult population in 2011. T2DM is the leading cause of renal failure for patients commencing dialysis, increasing from 53% of new dialysis patients in 2004 to 61% in 2013. Therefore, diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a debilitating complication which not only imposes significant health problems but also confers financial burden on affected patients. There has been increasing amount of understanding in the complexity of the relationship between T2DM and obesity. As the prevalence of both conditions continue to demonstrate a parallel rise, the influence of obesity on T2DM is further marked. Thus, this has led to greater emphasis on weight loss in the management of T2DM. More recent anti-diabetic medications including SGLT-2 inhibitors and GLP1 agonists demonstrated greater efficacy in improving glycaemic control and their ability to produce weight reduction. In addition, there has been more interest in the effects of these drugs on retardation of renal disease progression. The mechanism is unclear, either attributed by direct drug effects on renal glomerular-tubular structures, through the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone-System (RAAS), or other pathways. Another pausible explanation is the significant weight loss, which has been shown to have a significant effect of attenuation of renal disease. Weight reduction programs have long been a complex and tedious treatment plan which has inconsistent, non-duplicable and unpredictable outcomes. Most programs emphasized on medical nutrition therapy and lifestyle changes. There has been many different dietary plans which share a common goal ie to reduce calori intake whilst increasing energy expenditure. Few have been successfully reproducible, limited by either patient adherence or modest outcome. Low carbohydrate diet is a diet plan which stresses on reducing carbohydrate intake to less than 20g daily. Numerous studies have shown that weight loss could be obtained by reduction of calori intake in either the form of carbohydrate or fat. CKD patients are recommended to consume low protein diet of less than 0.6-0.7g/kg/day with little emphasis on calori or carbohydrate intake. This study, thus, aims to evaluate the effects of low carbohydrate and moderate fat (LCBD) in addition to low protein diet on renal disease in patients with DKD.
a prospective, observational, multi-center study with a cohort of 300 patients with Type 2 diabetes and macroalbuminuria. Prospectively we will collect kidney biopsies and analyse the transciptome of the kidney tissue and other biomarkers from blood, faeces, urine, proteomic- and metabolomic profiles and DNA-variants. Thereby we hope to be able to discover molecular and clinical profiles, that can help us in the diagnosis of DKD, and to identify different risks of progression that can benefit from different forms of personalized treatment.
This study is to assess the efficacy and safety of SER150 administered for 24 weeks as a 15 mg twice a day BID dose (except on Day 168 15 mg QD) in participants with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and albuminuria in treatment with either an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi) or an angiotensin receptor antagonist (ARB).
The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of the KidneyIntelX assay utilized as part of the current standard of care on the management of patients seen in the primary care physician's office at Mount Sinai.
The current trial is designed to evaluate how the results of KidneyIntelX test impacts on the clinical management of type 2 diabetes patients identified as increased risk for rapid kidney function decline within 5-years.
