Diabetes is a common cause of renal disease in the UK and all patients with diabetes should be regularly screened for kidney disease. This session will use a case-based approach to discuss how to diagnose and treat diabetic nephropathy, who needs referral to secondary care and the use of statins to treat high cholesterol in patients with diabetic nephropathy.

Learning Objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • Describe how to interpret urine ACR results
  • Describe how to manage microalbuminuria
  • Describe how to classify diabetic kidney disease and how to monitor it in primary care
  • Understand when to refer to nephrology

It has been estimated that 25-50% of patients with diabetes develop chronic kidney disease (CKD).
