Neue Leitlinie für das Diabetesmanagement bei chronischer Nierenerkrankung

In autumn 2022, an update of the Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline on diabetes management in chronic kidney disease (CKD) was published. This article presents in a clear manner and discusses the new aspects compared to the 2020 guideline. Innovations are seen in the area of general and all-encompassing treatment as well as in relation to blood glucose-lowering and organ-protective treatments with sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors, non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists, and glucagon-like peptide‑1 receptor agonists. A new feature is also the top 10 recommendations on diabetes management in CKD for both patients and physicians. The KDIGO guideline on diabetes management in CKD represents the current evidence-based standard of care for patients with diabetes mellitus and CKD. It is now important to implement the guideline in order to provide patients with the benefits of the treatments and thus improve their lives.
