Abstract

The incidence of chronic kidney disease is increasing internationally with risk factors for the condition being the same as those for type 2 diabetes. It is important therefore for nurses to use primary, secondary and tertiary prevention to minimise the incidence of chronic kidney disease when caring for individuals with type 2 diabetes. This article is the first of a two-part series on the interrelationship between these long-term conditions. This article, part 1, addresses the significance of primary prevention in promoting kidney health in adults living with type 2 diabetes, while part 2 will discuss the use of secondary and tertiary prevention relevant to these long-term conditions.

This article will examine the strong interconnection between chronic kidney disease (CKD) and type 2 diabetes and the importance of promoting kidney health. First, it will describe CKD and type 2 diabetes along with their prevalence. It will then discuss the importance of primary preventive measures and provide examples to assist nurses and other multidisciplinary team members in primary or community care as well as those in secondary or hospital care settings to promote kidney health with adults living with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is known to be independently associated with CKD as well as cardiovascular disease (CVD) so is known as a triple threat (Banerjee and Panas, 2017).

It is important to be mindful of the interrelationship between these long-term conditions. Promoting kidney health is relevant to not only diabetic health but also heart health. Nurses should take every opportunity to work with individuals to educate and empower them to make informed and active choices surrounding their health outcomes and life goals while living daily with these long-term conditions (Murphy and Byrne, 2022a; 2022b).
