Emerging New Agents in Diabetic Kidney Disease
(Julia Lewis, MD. ASN Renal Week 2005).
There are at least five new approaches beyond ACE inibitors to diabetic nephropathy: Aldosterone blockers, ruboxistaurin, prifenidone, COX-2 inhibition, and sulodexide. What is the
rationale for each of these interventions and what do the early pilot studies show?

Coronary Angioplasty and Stenting: Indications and Results
(Mark Williams, MD. ASN Renal Week 2005). In diabetics mortality with CAD is increased and classically they do worse with percutaneous interventions due to restenosis rathen than with bypass surgery.
Is this also true for diabetic patients with CKD? To what extent has the picture changed with the use of drug-eluting stents? What are the anti-thrombotic strategies that can be used in such
patients after stenting and
how do these influence outcomes?

The Role of Glycemic Control and How Best to Achieve it
(ASN Renal Week Clinical Nephrology Conference November, 2005, Philadelphia, PA) To what extent does HbA1c predict adverse events in diabetics? In non-diabetics? How low must one go to avoid the increased CV risk? Is <7.0% low enough? What did follow-up from the DCCT/EDIC trials show? What is the benefit of multiple risk factor reduction (Steno-2 Trial)? What is the modern approach to glucose control, including use of metformin (in non-CKD), alpha-glucosidase inhibitors, incretins, secretagogues, and thiazolidinediones? What are practical points regarding use of PPAR-gamma agonists, exenatide? What are the benefits of the thiazolidinediones in terms of lipids, prevention of restenosis, and reduction of albuminuria?
