Summary
In this podcast, kidney specialist George Tsihlis discusses managing diabetic kidney disease, highlighting its rising prevalence in Australia. 1.3 million Australians were living with diabetes as of 2021, marking a three-fold increase since the start of the century. Tsihlis underscores the gravity of diabetic nephropathy, noting that one in three individuals with diabetes will develop this condition, which is the leading cause of kidney failure in the region. He cites a significant increase in cardiovascular mortality among patients with diabetic nephropathy, with 31% mortality over ten years, compared to 11% for those without it. He covers the condition's pathogenesis, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies based on four treatment pillars. Dr Tsihlis emphasizes the critical need for routine screening and effective interventions, including RAS and SGLT2 inhibitors, supported by evidence from landmark studies. Through patient cases, he illustrates practical applications of treatment plans and stresses the importance of early intervention and a holistic approach to improve patient outcomes. This podcast was recorded live at the Western Sydney Diabetes Masterclass in Sydney. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Access thousands of premium conference podcasts and 'full video' podcasts including synchronised PowerPoint slides at https://www.armchairmedical.tv/podcasts General Practitioners: Earn your full year's worth of CPD including Educational Activities, Reviewing Performance and Measuring Outcomes CPD Hours.
