Excerpt

Albuminuria, a key feature of diabetic nephropathy, is one of the strongest predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) [1]. Moreover, it is well known the role for chronic inflammation (CI) as underlying pathogenic mechanism of atherosclerosis in non-diabetic and diabetic subjects. Recent evidences show that CI is also as a potential mediator between albuminuria and macrovascular disease [2]. Fibrinogen and C-reactive protein (CRP), both markers of inflammatory response, are consistently associated with the future cardiovascular events also in apparently healthy individuals [3]. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
