SGLT2 inhibition in CKD: Discussing the key questions and evidence
EBAC-accredited E-Learning
During this educational program, the effect of SGLT2i in diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is disscussed in three lectures.
This course consists of the following lectures:
- Outcomes of SGLT2i in Diabetic Kidney Disease: Is it all diabetes? - Prof. Rajiv Agarwal, MD - Indianapolis, IN, USA
- Underlying mechanisms of nephroprotective effects with SGLT2i in CKD - Paola Fioretto, MD – Padua, Italy
- The clinical landscape of managing patients with CKD: Where are we now and what can we expect? - Will Herrington, MD – Oxford, UK
After watching three videos on the effect of SGLT2i in diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), the learner should be able to:
- Describe standard of care in patients with CKD and T2DM and novel therapeutic options to decrease progression of kidney disease
- Reproduce the design and outcome of the first kidney outcome trial with an SGLT2i
- Discuss potential mechanisms that can explain the nephroprotective effects of SGLT2i
- Recall kidney outcomes of SGLT2i outcome trials
- Describe patient groups that need to be included in future kidney trials
