Item Diagnosis and Management of Type 2 Diabetic Kidney Disease(American Society of Nephrology, 2017-08-07) Doshi, Simit M.; Friedman, Allon N.; Medicine, School of MedicineType 2 diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the most common cause of CKD and ESRD worldwide, and carries with it enormous human and societal costs. The goal of this review is to provide an update on the diagnosis and management of DKD based on a comprehensive review of the medical literature. Topics addressed include the evolving presentation of DKD, clinical differentiation of DKD from non-DKD, a state-of-the-art evaluation of current treatment strategies, and promising emerging treatments. It is expected that the review will help clinicians to diagnose and manage patients with DKD.Item The Worldwide Economic Impact of Neurogenic Bladder(Springer, 2015-12) Flack, Chandra; Powell, C.R.; Department of Urology, IU School of MedicineCosts of neurogenic bladder vary widely and depend on a number of factors including severity of disease, symptomatology, patient insurance, and devices required. Recognition of how each treatment strategy will impact the patient financially could help guide selection of treatment as well as improve compliance with the chosen regimen. We have attempted to provide an overview of long term cost considerations for the neurogenic bladder patient. Armed with this information, the practitioner can better help the patient select a bladder care regimen that balances the desire to both minimize symptoms now and preserve urinary tract integrity for the future, yet still remain cost effective.
