Research recommendations from the 2024 BreakthroughT1D, Diabetes UK and Kidney Research UK, diabetes and kidney disease expert workshop

<p dir="ltr">Aims: To develop a position statement that identifies research priorities in diabetic kidney disease and provides recommendations to researchers and research funders on how best to address them. <br> <p dir="ltr">Methods: A one-day research workshop was conducted, bringing together re-search experts in diabetes and kidney disease, healthcare professionals, and people living with diabetes, to identify and prioritise research recommendations. <br> <p dir="ltr">Results: The following key areas were identified as needing increased focus: <p dir="ltr">• Understanding causal mechanisms in diabetic kidney disease <p dir="ltr">• Prevention of diabetic kidney disease <p dir="ltr">• Addressing health inequalities <p dir="ltr">• Improving diagnosis <p dir="ltr">• Improving care <p dir="ltr">• Supporting self- management <p dir="ltr"><br> <p dir="ltr">Conclusions: This position statement outlines recommendations to address the urgent need to tackle diabetic kidney disease and calls on the diabetes and kidney research communities to act upon these recommendations to ensure future re-search works to eliminate unfair and avoidable disparities in health
