For nearly two decades, the pharmacological blockade of the renin-angiotensin-system (RAS) was the only pillar of therapy to afford cardiorenal protection in these patients. During the last 5 years, newer novel therapies have been added to our therapeutic armamentarium, offering promise for more effective management of diabetic kidney disease in the future. Large phase 3 clinical trials have demonstrated additive cardiorenal protective benefits of sodium-glucose co-transporter type 2 (SGLT-2) inhibitors, the non-steroidal mineralocorticoid-receptor-antagonist (MRA) finerenone, and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) semaglutide relative to placebo in patients with albuminuric CKD and T2D who are receiving standard-of-care treatment with a RAS-blocker. These therapies are likely much more effective when administered in a combined therapeutic algorithm, but the potential additive effects of combination therapy remain to be established in ongoing clinical trials. In this article, we assemble four pillars of therapy for the attenuation of residual cardiorenal risk in patients with CKD associated with T2D. We provide evidence from recent randomized trials and we discuss the concept of combined treatment for maximal cardiorenal protection in this high-risk patient population.","is_dataset_classified":null,"base_score":0.0,"endowment":0.0,"datacite_reuse_total":0,"file_count":0,"downloads":0,"views":0,"has_version_chain":false,"is_dataset":false,"is_oa":false,"pmid":"39259460","pmcid":null,"openalex_id":null,"authors":[],"funders":[],"total_grants":0,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"citation_trend":[],"oa_status":"closed","license":"https://www.springernature.com/gp/researchers/text-and-data-mining","oa_locations":[{"url":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s40265-024-02091-8.pdf","host_type":"publisher"},{"url":"https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s40265-024-02091-8/fulltext.html","host_type":"publisher"}],"fields_of_study":["Humans","Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2","Renal Insufficiency, Chronic","Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors","Disease Progression","Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists","Diabetic Nephropathies","Naphthyridines","Renin-Angiotensin System","Hypoglycemic Agents","Glucagon-Like Peptides","Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists","Semaglutide"],"mesh_terms":["Humans","Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2","Renal Insufficiency, Chronic","Sodium-Glucose Transporter 2 Inhibitors","Disease Progression","Mineralocorticoid Receptor Antagonists","Diabetic Nephropathies","Naphthyridines","Renin-Angiotensin System","Hypoglycemic Agents","Glucagon-Like Peptides","Glucagon-Like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists","Semaglutide"],"keywords":[],"sdg_mappings":[],"linked_datasets":[],"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"database_accessions":[],"source":"live","citation_network_status":"fetched"},"created_at":"2026-08-06T13:09:46.565459Z","pmid":null,"pmcid":null,"fwci":null,"citation_percentile":null,"influential_citations":0,"oa_status":null,"license":null,"views":0,"total_file_size_bytes":0,"version_count":0,"fair_f":null,"fair_a":null,"fair_i":null,"fair_r":null,"fair_zscore":null,"fair_rationale":null,"fair_model":null,"fair_agent_version":null,"fair_fulltext_source":null,"fair_has_llm":null,"fair_computed_at":null,"clinical_trials":[],"software_tools":[],"db_accessions":[],"linked_datasets":[],"topics":[]}
