Abstract

Introduction For decades, the first-line treatment for kidney protection in people with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been limited to intensive glycemic control, renin-angiotensin system blockers and managing modifiable risk factors. Accordingly, risk of CKD progression has remained unacceptably high, emphasizing the need for novel kidney protective therapies in T1D. Areas covered This review summarizes the recent evidence supporting the use of existing treatments used for kidney protection in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) for potential repurposing for people with T1D. First, we highlight the putative structural and functional changes that actively contribute to CKD progression and highlight key hemodynamic, pro-inflammatory, and kidney injury risk markers in T1D. Next, we discuss emerging nephroprotective therapies targeting these pathophysiological factors, review mechanistic studies that have assessed kidney benefits of these agents in T1D, and highlight ongoing kidney-focused trials in T1D, including SUGARNSALT (NCT06217302), FINE-ONE (NCT05901831) and REMODEL-T1D (NCT05822609). Expert opinion Several medications have become available that could potentially transform CKD care in T1D. It is essential to devise strategies that could address the treatment landscape for kidney protection in T1D by assessing the risk-benefit calculus and expanding the nephrologist's toolkit for minimizing kidney risk in T1D.

  • Current evidence of kidney benefit is limited to CKD in type 2 diabetes.

    “while current evidence of kidney benefit is limited to CKD in type 2 diabetes, multiple studies are in progress to determine if these therapies also improve kidney outcomes in people with type 1 diabetes (149,150).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
