Abstract
Diabetes is a major public health challenge and diabetic kidney disease (DKD), a broader diagnostic term than diabetic nephropathy, is the leading cause of chronic kidney disease and end-stage kidney disease in the United States and worldwide. A better understanding of the underlying pathophysiological mechanisms of DKD, and recent clinical trials testing new therapeutic interventions, have shown promising results to curb this epidemic. Given the global health burden of DKD, it is extremely important to prioritize prevention, early recognition, referral, and aggressive management of DKD in the primary care setting.
