Core Tip
Core Tip: Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is a biologically heterogeneous condition, and uniform treatment strategies may not yield equivalent benefits across patients. Recent real-world evidence supports the use of combined sodium-glucose cotransporter-2 inhibitors and glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists as part of a layered therapeutic approach. This commentary highlights the importance of precision patient selection, stage-specific evaluation, and mechanism-informed decision-making to optimize combination therapy. Integrating clinical phenotypes with emerging biological insights may facilitate more individualized and effective management of DKD.
