Episode Synopsis



Faculty: Rajiv Agarwal, MBBS, MD, FASN, BRCU

Faculty: Prof. Dr. Francesc Xavier Cos Claramunt



This case-based program explores the missed opportunities in CKD detection and treatment in a patient with type 2 diabetes. Drs. Agarwal and Cos emphasize the role of primary care physicians in annual UACR screening, which can reveal kidney injury long before symptoms occur. With new evidence from the CONFIDENCE and other trials, the discussion highlights the benefits and safety of early combination therapy with finerenone and SGLT2i, and GLP-1 receptor agonists. Practical strategies are shared to support primary care teams in integrating these therapies and reducing long-term cardio-kidney-metabolic risk.
