Parminder K. Judge, PhD, explains why eGFR and electrolytes should be monitored when diuretics are added to reach intensive BP targets in patients with CKD

Two Kidney Week 2026 analyses tie SGLT2 inhibitors to kidney, CV, and survival gains in T2D, yet over half of patients with diabetic CKD receive neither.

Two Kidney Week 2026 abstracts show a dose-response link between cardiovascular-kidney-metabolic syndrome (CKM) stage and chronic kidney disease (CKD), while primary care clinicians cite evidence and workflow barriers.

In more than 262,000 UK Biobank participants, a 5-marker cardiometabolic score was linked to graded risk at each step toward CKM multimorbidity.

The approval offers a once-weekly basal insulin treatment option for patients, reducing the frequency of injections.

In pooled CORALreef data, patients with eGFR below 60 had a 65.9% placebo-adjusted LDL-C reduction at week 24, with safety comparable to placebo.
