The choices you make today can impact Anna’s future1,2
Anna today: 50 years old
- Full-time teacher and mother of 2 teenagers
- Living with T2D and CKD for 6 years
Kidney profile
- Albuminuria: 50 mg/g
(+12 mg/g in the past year) - eGFR: 59 mL/min/1.73 m2
(-5 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the past year)
CV profile
- Family history of CV disease
Current medications:
- Statins
- Maximum tolerated dose of an ACEi
- T2D medications* (HbA1c: 7.7%)
Anna in the future
- Working only part time
- Less active family life due to health concerns
- Increased doses for both dyslipidemia and T2D medications
Kidney profile
- Albuminuria: 310 mg/g
- eGFR: 42 mL/min/1.73 m2
CV profile
- Coronary artery disease
- Symptomatic HFpEF

Patients with CKD are at increased risk for CV events2
Without additional intervention, Anna’s risk will grow
Increased albuminuria is associated with greater CV and renal risk3,4

Maggie today: 60 years old
- Works full time as a teacher and is a grandmother with an active family life
- Living with T2D and CKD for 8 years
Kidney profile
- Albuminuria: 280 mg/g
(+65 mg/g in the past year) - eGFR: 54 mL/min/1.73 m2
(-10 mL/min/1.73 m2 in the past year)
Current medications:
- Statins
- Multiple T2D medications* (HbA1c: 7.7%)
- Calcium channel blocker
- Diuretic
- Maximum tolerated dose of an ACEi
Maggie in the future
- Working only part time
- Less active family life due to health concerns
Kidney profile
- Albuminuria: 780 mg/g
- eGFR: 40 mL/min/1.73 m2
CV risk factors
- Diagnosed with HFpEF
Medication changes:
- Increased doses for both dyslipidemia
and T2D medications

Patients with CKD are at increased risk for both renal and CV events2
Without additional intervention, Maggie’s risk will grow

* | T2D medications may include insulin, biguanides (metformin), GLP-1 receptor agonists, and SGLT2 inhibitors.1 |
† | Based on a meta-analysis of 1,024,977 patients from general population, high-risk CV, and CKD cohorts selected according to Chronic Kidney Prognosis Consortium criteria.4 |
ACEi=angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor; CKD=chronic kidney disease; CV=cardiovascular; eGFR=estimated glomerular filtration rate; GLP-1=glucagon-like peptide-1; HbA1c=glycated haemoglobin; HFpEF=heart failure with preserved ejection fraction; SGLT2=sodium-glucose cotransporter 2; T2D=type 2 diabetes; UACR=urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio.
