1) Welcome to a new #accredited #tweetorial from our good friends and #diabetes experts @GoggleDocs, specifically @drkevinfernando, @drpatrickholmes, & @AmarPut. They have put their 🗣️s together to provide us with a summary of the first-ever consensus statement from …

2) … @AmDiabetesAssn & @goKDIGO, which were discussed at the recently concluded #isnwcn congress in Kuala Lumpur. This joint document nicely summarizes important recent advances and practice-changing data for the management of diabetic #kidneydisease #DKD.

3) This program is #accredited for CE/#CME #physicians #physicianassociates #nurses #pharmacists #nursepractitioners & is supported by an independent educational grant from the Boehringer Ingelheim/Lilly Alliance. It is not intended for US based healthcare professionals.

4) So . . . Much is changing in the management of #CKD, particularly if the person #CKD has any type of #diabetes. It's a new year and a new guideline from @goKDIGO, this time in consensus with @ADA_DiabetesPro.
👉In this 🧵we will look at what's new!

5) As above, this collaboration is welcome and is a big deal!

6) Before look what's new in the consensus report.
Let's remember why #CKD is important to people living with any type of #diabetes

7) #CKD in #diabetes is:
📍Common
👉 ~30% #T1D
👉 ~40% #T2D
🔓https://cjasn.asnjournals.org/content/12/12/2032
📍Increasing in prevalence due to ⤴️ people living with #diabetes & ⤴️duration of diabetes
👉Look at what’s going to happen in Africa/Middle East

8) It's serious too
Most of diabetes-associated excess CVD risk occurs in those with #CKD ‼️

Final Space Serious GIF

9) #CKD amplifies the #CVD risk in people living #T2D
📍1 in 2 die from CVD
📍 1 in 3 die from infections/sepsis
📍only 1 in 10 die from kidney failure itself
(Thanks again @KatherineTuttl8)

10) In 2020 @goKDIGO released its Clinical Practice Guideline for Diabetes Management in #CKD with:
1) Foundation of comprehensive lifestyle
2) Goal directed therapy for BP, #Lipids & Glucose
3) Targeted therapy (RAS & #SGLT2i drugs)
4) #antiplatelets for eASCVD

11) Evidence is changing fast❗️
Since the 2020 guidance the evidence has changed with the publication of studies using the following drug classes
📍#SGLT2i #flozins
📍#GLP-1 Receptor Agonists (GLP-1ra)
📍Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (#MRA)

12) What the heck are Non-steroidal & Steroidal Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists (#MRAs)?

13) Before we go on to recommendations and data behind them, a quick quiz

Approximately what proportion with #T2D plus #CKD die from cardiovascular diseases? Mark your answer before you scroll ⤵️!

14) It's D–WOW!
At the❤️of the ADA-KDIGO consensus statement is a holistic approach managing all risk factors.

Note what's new
📍Weight management
📍SGLT2i now with a lower eGFR cutoff
📍Non-steroidal MRAs for persistent albuminuria
📍Enhanced lipid management #icosapentethyl

15) Let’s take a deeper dive in to the rationale behind the headlines

16) Why is weight management in the guideline?
📍Secondary analysis of Look AHEAD RCT indicated Intensive lifestyle intervention was associated w/ a 27%⤵️ in the development of high risk #CKD
📍Effects attributable to:
⤵️bodyweight
⤵️HbA1c
⤵️BP
And then there’s pharmacotherapy:

17) What are the new recommendations for use in #SGLT2i?

📍Initiation threshold of SGLT2i ⤵️ to an eGFR of 20❗️, based on #EMPEROR studies
📍Continue SGLT2i til dialysis‼️, as per #CREDENCE & #DAPA-CKD trials

18) So are you paying attention??
2022 @goKDIGO Diabetes & CKD recommends initiating #SGLT2i above what #eGFR value?

19) Safety first. For SGLT2i’s

📍Helpful guide in selecting patients 😊
📍Recommendations to
⤵️Risk of DKA ⚠️
⤵️Hypoglycaemia⚠️
⤵️volume depletion⚠️
👇👇👇

20) What's new with #GLP-1ra's in CKD?
📍new data & meta-analysis (AMPLITUDE-O,🔓https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2108269)
📍recommendation remains: For glycemic management after metformin & SGLT2i
📍New weight-loss practice point added: "GLP-1ra are effective agents for weight loss in T2D+CKD"

21) What about the kid on the block, non-steroidal MRA (#finerenone)?
📍non-steroidal MRA recommended: In pts on max tolerated ACEi/ARB w/ eGFR ≥ 25, normal potassium, & persistent albuminuria
📍In general SGLT2i initiated prior to finerenone

Rationale comes from 3 trials

Countdown 321 GIF

22) Those 3⃣ are

👉FIDELIO-DKD
👉FIGARO-DKD
👉 FIDELITY (pooled analysis)
📍sub-group analysis indicates benefit of finerenone is additive to SGLT2i
Learn more about this from @drkevinfernando on this thread

23) And a composite slide from @KatherineTuttl8, for those of you who prefer all-you-can-eat dining!

24) Using non-steroidal MRA's safely

📍Serum creatinine & potassium should monitored
📍If eGFR ⤵️ ≥ 30% then STOP❗️
📍If potassium ≥ 5.5 mol/l then STOP‼️

25) The @goKDIGO 2022 guidance offers a new pyramid of care
📍Foundation of intensive lifestyle interventions (including weight)
📍Targeted first -line therapy (metformin, SGLT2i, RASi & statins)
📍Goal-directed therapy depending on response

26) The overall aim would be to
⤵️ Kidney function decline
⤵️ Cardiovascular morbidity & mortality
⤴️ Quality & length of life

28) And always follow dosing guidelines and comorbidity considerations for these new drugs that can have such dramatic impact!
