Diabetic kidney disease is one of the most serious microvascular complications of diabetes mellitus and and remains the leading cause of end-stage renal disease in developed countries. For practitioners such as nurses and prescribers, understanding the pathophysiology, early detection and management of diabetic kidney disease is crucial, as primary care serves as the frontline for preventing progression to advanced chronic kidney disease. Evidence and guidance is available to support decision making in prescribing, ensuring health professionals can optimise care in people with diabetic kidney disease who otherwise might experience a rapid decline in their kidney health.
