How Chronic Kidney Disease in Type 2 Diabetes Contributes to Cardiovascular Disease

Description

This training focuses on the intersection of type 2 diabetes, chronic kidney disease (CKD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Participants will learn about the pathophysiology, diagnostic methods, and evidence-based interventions to manage CKD and reduce CVD risk in patients with diabetes.

Target Audience

This training is tailored for healthcare professionals, including nephrologists, endocrinologists, cardiologists, primary care physicians, and allied health professionals involved in managing diabetes and associated complications.

Learning Outcomes

After completing this training, you will be able to:

1. Recognize the pathophysiological link between diabetes, CKD, and CVD.
2. Utilize diagnostic tools like eGFR and UACR effectively to assess CKD in diabetic patients.
3. Apply evidence-based pharmacological interventions, including SGLT2 inhibitors and GLP-1 receptor agonists, to protect kidney and heart health.
4. Collaborate across specialties to provide comprehensive care for patients with diabetes, CKD, and CVD.
