Diabetic NephropathyDiabetic Nephropathy
Diabetic NephropathyDiabetic Nephropathy Over 40% of new cases of end-stage
renal disease (ESRD) are attributed to diabetes.
In 2001, 41,312 people with diabetes began treatment for end-stage renal disease.
In 2001, it cost $22.8 billion in public and private funds to treat patients with kidney failure.
Minorities experience higher than average rates of nephropathy and kidney disease

Five Stages of Kidney DiseaseFive Stages of Kidney Disease
Stage 1: Hyperfiltration, or an increase in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) occurs. Kidneys increase in size.
Stage 2: Glomeruli begin to show damage and microalbuminurea occurs.
Stage 3: Albumin excretion rate (AER) exceeds 200 micrograms/minute, and blood levels of creatinine and urea-nitrogen rise. Blood pressure may rise during this stage.
Five Stages of Kidney Disease (con’t.)
Five Stages of Kidney Disease (con’t.)
Stage 4: GFR decreases to less than 75 ml/min, large amounts of protein pass into the urine, and high blood pressure almost always occurs. Levels of creatinine and urea-nitrogen in the blood rise further.
Stage 5: Kidney failure, or end stage renal disease (ESRD). GFR is less than 10 ml/min. The average length of time to progress from Stage 1 to Stage 4 kidney disease is 17 years for a person with type 1 diabetes. The average length of time to progress to Stage 5, kidney failure, is 23 years.

Diabetic nephropathy diagnosed
Up to 2 repeat random urine ACRs performed 1
week to 2 months apart
Suspicion of nondiabetic
renal disease?
Yes
Workup or referral for
nondiabetic renal diseaseNo
Check ACR results
Only 1 abnormal ACR: Repeat
screen in 1 year
Any 2 abnormal out of 3 ACRs:
Diabetic nephropathy diagnosed
SCREENING FOR NEPHROPATHY
Priorities for vascular and renal protectionPriorities for vascular and renal protection
Clinical Issue Target Population Interventions
Vascular protection
All people w/DM ACE inhibitor, ASA, BP control, glycemic control, lifestyle modification, lipid control, smoking cessation
Elevated BP All people w/DM with hypertension (regardless of whether nephropathy is present)
Rx according to hypertension guidelines
Renal protection All people w/DM with nephropathy (even in the absence of hypertension)
Rx according to nephropathy guidelines
Treatment of Diabetic NephropathyTreatment of Diabetic Nephropathy
• Hypertension Control - Goal: lower blood pressure to <130/80 mmHg
– Antihypertensive agents• Angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors
– captopril, enalapril, lisinopril, benazepril, fosinopril, ramipril, quinapril, perindopril, trandolapril, moexipril
• Angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) therapy – candesartan cilexetil, irbesartan, losartan potassium,
telmisartan, valsartan, esprosartan
• Beta-blockers
• Glycemic Control
– Preprandial plasma glucose 90-130 mg/dl– A1C <7.0%– Peak postprandial plasma glucose <180 mg/dl– Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG)– Medical Nutrition Therapy
• Restrict dietary protein to RDA of 0.8 g/kg body weight per day

Treatment of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Treatment of End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
There are three primary treatment options for individuals who experience ESRD:
1. Hemodialysis
2. Peritoneal Dialysis
3. Kidney Transplantation
HemodialysisHemodialysis
• Procedure
– A fistula or graft is created to access the bloodstream
– Wastes, excess water, and salt are removed from blood using a dialyzer
– Hemodialysis required approx. 3 times per week, each treatment lasting 3-5 hrs
– Can be performed at a medical facility or at home with appropriate patient training
• Hemodialysis Diet
– Monitor protein intake– Limit potassium intake– Limit fluid intake– Avoid salt– Limit phosphorus intake
• Complications
– Infection at access site– Clotting, poor blood flow– Hypotension
Hemodialysis (cont.)Hemodialysis (cont.)
Peritoneal DialysisPeritoneal Dialysis
• Procedure– Dialysis solution is transported into the abdomen through a
permanent catheter where it draws wastes and excess water from peritoneal blood vessels. The solution is then drained from the abdomen.
– Three Types of Peritoneal Dialysis
• Continuous Ambulatory Peritoneal Dialysis (CAPD)• Continuous Cycler-Assisted Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD)• Combination CAPD and CCPD
Peritoneal Dialysis (cont.)Peritoneal Dialysis (cont.)
• Peritoneal Dialysis Diet
– Limit salt and fluid intake– Consume more protein– Some potassium restrictions– Reduce caloric intake
• Complications– Peritonitis
Kidney TransplantKidney Transplant
• Procedure
– A cadaveric kidney or kidney from a related or non-related living donor is surgically placed into the lower abdomen.
– Three factors must be taken into consideration to determine kidney/recipient match:
• Blood type• Human leukocyte antigens (HLAs)• Cross-matching antigens
Kidney Transplant (cont.)Kidney Transplant (cont.)
• Kidney Transplant Diet– Reduce caloric intake– Reduce salt intake
• Complications/Risk Factors– Rejection– Immunosuppressant side effects
• Benefits– No need for dialysis– fewer dietary restrictions– higher chance of living longer
How Can You Prevent Diabetic Kidney Disease?
How Can You Prevent Diabetic Kidney Disease?
• Maintain blood pressure <130/80 mm/Hg• Maintain preprandial plasma glucose 90-
130 mg/dl• Maintain postprandial plasma glucose
<180 mg/dl• Maintain A1C <7.0%
