Why the study?
Does the extent of proteinuria dictate the cardiorenal prognosis in patients with coexisting diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease?
Population
2,174 patients with chronic kidney disease treated with drugs inhibiting the renin-angiotensin system…

Diabetes mellitus stratified by residual… vs Non-diabetic chronic kidney disease stratified…

Cohort
Follow-up
4.07 years
Key result
In patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes with moderate proteinuria (0.15-0.49 g/day) was associated with a higher risk of mortality (HR 1.92; 95% CI 1.25-2.95).

Moderate proteinuria flags higher mortality risk in diabetic CKD; extends prognostic observations but should not yet change practice.

Does the extent of proteinuria dictate the cardiorenal prognosis in patients with coexisting diabetes mellitus and chronic kidney disease?
Hazard Ratio: 1.92 (95% CI 1.25–2.95)
In patients with chronic kidney disease, the excess cardiorenal risk associated with diabetes is largely driven by the presence of proteinuria, as non-proteinuric diabetic patients have similar risks to non-diabetic patients.
Minutolo et al. (2018) conducted a cohort in Chronic kidney disease with or without diabetes mellitus (n=2,174). Proteinuria and diabetes mellitus vs. Non-proteinuric (<0.15 g/day) or non-diabetic patients was evaluated on All-cause mortality (HR 1.92, 95% CI 1.25-2.95). In patients with chronic kidney disease, diabetes with moderate proteinuria (0.15-0.49 g/day) was associated with a higher risk of mortality (HR 1.92; 95% CI 1.25-2.95).
