Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end-stage kidney disease. It is a multifactorial condition, and research has shown that youth-onset type 2 diabetes (T2DM) carries a higher risk of progressive DKD compared to adult-onset T2DM. While several medications are available to help prevent DKD, significant unmet needs remain in this area. This session will discuss the characteristics of DKD in the Korean population and among youth-onset T2DM, as well as key considerations for DKD research to address these unmet needs.
