  • Authors: Roberto Pecoits-Filho, MD, PhD
  • CME Released: 2/24/2023
  • Valid for credit through: 2/24/2024
Start Activity

  • Credits Available

    Physicians - maximum of 1.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™

    You Are Eligible For

    • Letter of Completion

Target Audience and Goal Statement

This activity is intended for primary care physicians (PCPs); nephrologists, diabetologists, and endocrinologists; and cardiologists.

The goal of this activity is for learners to be better able to acknowledge serious health risks associated with chronic kidney disease (CKD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and the availability of novel treatment options shown to reduce the risk of associated complications.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will:

  • Have increased knowledge regarding the
    • Latest international society guideline recommendations for management of patients with CKD and T2D
    • Safety aspects of novel, selective nonsteroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (ns MRAs) for reducing the risk of CKD progression and cardiovascular (CV) risk reduction in patients with CKD
  • Have greater competence related to
    • Regular assessment of kidney function in patients with T2D
    • Practical use of novel mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (MRAs) in appropriate patients with CKD and T2D
