Chronic kidney disease (CKD) attributed to diabetes, termed diabetic kidney disease (DKD), is increasing with the rising global prevalence of diabetes. Patterns of DKD onset and progression have shifted in recent years because of population aging and advances in the treatment of diabetes. Prevention of the onset and progression of micro/macro-albuminuria is possible through comprehensive and strict management of lifestyle, blood glucose, blood pressure, and lipids in people with diabetes and early DKD.

Its prevalence and severity increase in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), diabetes mellitus, and heart failure (HF), particularly when compounded by medications like Angiotensin converting inhibitors, Angiotensin receptor blockers, and potassium sparing diuretics.

Background: Worsening heart failure (WHF) challenges health care with frequent rehospitalizations and reduced quality of life for patients. Despite therapeutic advances, high rehospitalization risks highlight the urgent need for new treatments.
Objectives: This study evaluated the effectiveness of initiating novel therapies during hospitalization or vulnerable phase for WHF patients to reduce rehospitalization risks and determine the optimal treatment sequence.

Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a prevalent and complex disease among patients with diabetes in Korea, requiring comprehensive treatment strategies. Traditional management strategies targeting blood pressure, blood sugar, lipid, and lifestyles are foundational approaches of DKD treatment, each of them still holding importance in current paradigms. The four pillars, renin-angiotensin system(RAS) inhibitors, sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors, glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists, and non-steroidal mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists (nsMRA) can enhance DKD treatment.

The mechanisms underlying the maintenance of hypertension in renovascular hypertension (RVH) are not well understood. To test the current concept of RVH pathophysiology, circulating aldosterone levels in clinical cases were investigated through a literature survey of pediatric cases. Fifty-four patients with documented aldosterone levels were identified.
