Accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is rapidly increasing and that renal and cardiovascular complications often provoke serious conditions in diabetic patients. 1 Particularly, cardiovascular complications are the primary cause of death in diabetic patients with nephropathy. Major risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in patients with T2DM include hypertension, dyslipidemia, albuminuria (proteinuria) and decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR). 2–4 In treating T2DM, it is important to appropriately manage glucose and lipid metabolism, body weight and blood pressure (BP) and to suppress the development and progression of diabetic complications to restore the quality of life to a level comparable with healthy subjects. First-line therapy for T2DM includes diet modifications and exercise therapy, and if these measures are insufficient anti-diabetic medications are prescribed. Pharmacotherapy for T2DM consists of oral and injectable treatments. It is increasingly being reported that therapeutic intervention in the early stages of disease progression is important for the effective management of T2DM and diabetic nephropathy; thus, the specific diagnosis of albuminuria is a key component of this approach. Therefore, the Joint Committee on Diabetic Nephropathy of the Japan Diabetes Society and the Japanese Society of Nephrology has recently revised its Classification of Diabetic Nephropathy (Classification of Diabetic Nephropathy2014), 5 and the clinical significance of albuminuria in the management of T2DM has been highlighted in this new version. In one example of the significance of albuminuria to cardiovascular risk, a subanalysis of the Reduction of Endpoints in NIDDM with the Angiotensin II Antagonist Losartan (RENAAL) study and Irbesartan Diabetic Nephropathy Trial (IDNT), which included diabetic patients with overt albuminuria, demonstrated that the reduction of CVD risk was dependent not only on the achievement of adequate BP control but also on the sufficient decrease in albuminuria, independent of the achieved BP levels. 6 Therefore, therapeutic intervention to effectively improve albuminuria is essential for reducing CVD risk in patients with T2DM, regardless of the stage of diabetic nephropathy. To that end, appropriate glycemic control, in addition to BP reduction, is critical for reducing albuminuria in patients with diabetic nephropathy. Achieving the target HbA1c of o7. 0%(National Glycohemoglobin Standardization Program (NGSP)) for glycemic control in T2DM patients with microalbuminuria is recommended in the Evidence-based Clinical Practice Guidelines for Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) by the Japanese Society of Nephrology 2013. 7 In a recent post hoc subanalysis of the ADVANCE trial, an intensive glucose-lowering regimen (with a target HbA1C of o6. 5%) reduced the risk of end-stage renal disease and led to improvements in albuminuria. 8 In addition, a previous meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials demonstrated that intensive glucose-lowering treatment was associated with a significant reduction in the risk of microalbuminuria in patients with T2DM. 9Currently, managing T2DM in patients with CKD represents a clinical challenge because of limited treatment options, as most oral anti-hyperglycemic agents exhibit decreased efficacy and/or delayed clearance and more adverse events in T2DM patients with a GFR of o60ml per min per 1.73 m2. 10 Nevertheless, several previous studies have demonstrated that intensified multi-factorial intervention with tight glucose regulation and renin–angiotensin system blockers, aspirin and lipid-lowering …
