Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) remains the main cause for chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) worldwide. Both CKD and ESKD lead to major increases in risk of cardiovascular disease and death in people with diabetes. Despite optimal management of lifestyle, glucose levels and hypertension, residual risk remains high, indicating that additional therapies to mitigate the burden of the disease are desired. In past decades, new treatment options for the management of diabetes have emerged, of which some have showed promising renoprotective potential. This review discusses current understanding of the renal effects of glucagon-like peptide receptor agonists and their potential use in prevention and treatment of DKD.

The prevalence of diabetes continues to rise worldwide. In addition to rising rates of diabetic kidney disease, we are also seeing a parallel rise in nondiabetic kidney disease among patients with diabetes. These nondiabetic lesions include focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, and other glomerular diseases. The management of diabetic kidney disease is rapidly evolving to include, beyond glycemic control and renin angiotensin inhibition, the use of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists. These and other new treatment strategies should be applicable to managing glomerular disease in diabetic patients to reduce toxicities associated with immunosuppression and, in particular, corticosteroids. The prevalence of glomerular disease in diabetic patients is underappreciated. Diagnosis and appropriately treating these diseases remain an important avenue to modify kidney outcomes in diabetic patients.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) in the United States. Risk factor modification, such as tight control of blood glucose, management of hypertension and hyperlipidemia, and the use of renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system (RAAS) blockade have been proven to help delay the progression of DKD. In recent years, new therapeutics including sodium-glucose transport protein 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, endothelin antagonists, glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonists, and mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRA), have provided additional treatment options for patients with DKD. This review discusses the various treatment options available to treat patients with diabetic kidney disease.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease and the number of patients affected is increasing worldwide. Thus, there is a need to establish a new treatment for DKD to improve the renal prognosis of diabetic patients. Recently, it has shown that intracellular metabolic abnormalities are involved in the pathogenesis of DKD. In particular, the activity of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), a nutrient-sensing signaling molecule, is hyperactivated in various organs of diabetic patients, which suggests the involvement of excessive mTORC1 activation in the pathogenesis of diabetes. In DKD, hyperactivated mTORC1 may be involved in the pathogenesis of podocyte damage, which causes proteinuria, and tubular cell injury that decreases renal function. Therefore, elucidating the role of mTORC1 in DKD and developing new therapeutic agents that suppress mTORC1 hyperactivity may shed new light on DKD treatments in the future.

Urinary albumin excretion (UAE) is widely used in clinical practice as indicator of diabetic kidney disease. According to the classical concept of the natural course of diabetic nephropathy, an increase in UAE usually precedes a decline in renal function. Meanwhile, a growing body of evidences indicates a high prevalence of normoalbuminuric chronic kidney disease (NA-CKD) in diabetic subjects, especially among patients with type 2 diabetes. An increase in NA-CKD prevalence can be results of improved glucose, blood pressure, and lipid control, widespread use of renin-angiotensin system blockers, and smoking cessation. It was shown that NA-CKD is more prevalent among women and is associated with arterial hypertension and coronary artery disease. The renal structure in subjects with NA-CKD is more heterogeneous when compared to patients with increased albuminuria, wherein interstitial changes and arteriolosclerosis could be the principal morphological findings, while signs of glomerulopathy may be absent. The prognostic value of NA-CKD needs to be clarified. It was shown that NA-CKD increases the risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and cardiovascular death in patients with diabetes. The search for alternative diagnostic markers for detecting of diabetic kidney disease in the absence of albuminuria, is of practical importance. The evaluations of the markers of tubular damage and interstitial fibrosis, as well as proteomic approaches, are considered as perspective diagnostic and prognostic options in NA-CKD. The study of pathogenesis, pathology, clinical course of NA-CKD in diabetic patients, as well as the development of more specific diagnostic and treatment options is a challenge for future research.
