RESUMO
Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) continues to be a chronic and devastating complication of diabetes. Despite improvements in glycemic control and lower blood pressure targets, the incidence of DKD has not declined substantially. Standards of care for persons with diabetes include screening for kidney complications and close follow-up. Preventive measures continue to rely on glucose and blood pressure control. However, additional measures to slow the progression of kidney damage are under investigation.
